"Grits And Gravy - The Best Of The Fame Gang" gathers the cream of the Fame Gang's recordings in a scintillating stew of soulful grooves. The compilation is named for the second of the groups 45s, a hotly rated item amongst deejays today. The act's strongest singles sides are included here, along with selections from their Capitol album "Solid Gold" - but the meat of the programme is in the plethora of previously unissued cuts such as 'Soul Stutterin', 'Crime Don't Pay', 'Cannonball' and 'Shoalin', all brimming with warm, funky and soulful vibes. Hot versions of items such as Sly's 'Stand' and Cannonball Adderley's 'Walk Tall' are an added bonus.
