Ain't Nothin' But a House Party - The Showstoppers

Ain't Nothin' But a House Party - The Showstoppers
2:38
single, 1967
Written by Del Sharh and Joseph Thomas

This song is sometimes listed as "...Houseparty," one word, and the band itself is sometimes credited as the Show Stoppers, two words.  The vinyl single's label lists the titular party as two words.  Anyhoo, this is a pretty good slice of late '60s soul.  It's got a little funk, and you can see where disco is starting to raise its shiny head.  Did the Castaways copy the rising riff on their 1968 hit "Liar Liar?"  They sound similar to me.
