Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1977 album from the interracial R&B/Funk/Soul band. By this time the group had developed their sound and were just as adept at laying down their trademark Funky Soulful grooves as they were introducing more Pop and Jazz elements to their repertoire. With Salsoul Records behind them Ripple were able to create a set of very strong dance grooves that more than stand up to the releases of many of their contemporaries of the time. The only single to be released from the album was the aptly titled “”The Beat Goes on And On,”” a solid funky groove that continued the groups success on the Billboard R&B singles chart peaking at #91 in March of 1978. Sons of the Gods employs every element of the group to great effect with slick Afro/Latin percussion and smooth interplay between the horns, keyboards and guitar parts while lead singer Keith Samuels holds the R&B/Funk/Soul/Jazz/Disco melting pot together with his assured soulful vocals. BBR.
