Lil' Lavair & The Fabulous Jades emerged from San Bernardino, California, in the late 1960s, delivering raw and gritty deep funk that resonated with enthusiasts and DJs alike. Their standout track, "Cold Heat," epitomizes the unpolished energy of the era, featuring tight drum beats, prominent basslines, sharp guitar riffs, and powerful vocals. Initially released as a rare 7-inch single, "Cold Heat" gained prominence in the UK’s Northern Soul scene and was later championed by funk aficionados in the late 1990s. The track has since been reissued, solidifying its status as a treasured piece of funk history.
