The Fabulous Counts were an American soul/funk group from Detroit, Michigan. They won local acclaim as an instrumental group and as a backing ensemble for visiting solo acts after their formation in 1968. Working with producer Richard «Popcorn» Wylie, they released the instrumental single «Jan, Jan» on Detroit’s Moira Records that year, which narrowly missed hitting the US R&B charts that winter. Their second single, «Dirty Red», passed without trace, but the third single, «Get Down People», hit #32 R&B and #88 on the US pop charts. A full-length, Jan, Jan (produced by Ollie McLaughlin), was released in 1969 on Cotillion Records, but the group left the label in 1970. Signing with Westbound Records that year, the group changed their name simply to The Counts. Shortchanged by Westbound Records in favor of The Ohio Players and Funkadelic, many of the band’s original members left, and the band moved to Atlanta, Georgia, signing with Michael Thevis’ Aware Records, where they released their final LPs Love Sign and Funk Pump before the group called it quits in 1976. All three of the funk albums they released under their new name charted.
