Prior to developing their identity as Con Funk Shun, the band worked in the early 70s as a back up group for The Soul Children a well-known R&B act, as Project Soul.

It was while Project Soul were recording these songs and looking to send demo’s to record labels a change of name was considered, and the band came up with many ideas, after a long discussion somebody complained “To many names and too much confusion” to which a response was “Not confusion Con Funk Shun” the question was then asked “What’s that?” the answer came “Con Funk Shun is organized confusion”, needless to say the name stuck.

As original sleeve note writer states ‘Organized Con Funk Shun’ is “Great Stuff!”.

‘Organized Con Funk Shun’ was recorded in Memphis and produced by Ted Sturges.
