Throughout the '60s and into the '70s, it's apparent that Ru-Jac was intent on keeping its finger on the pulse of contemporary R&B;, to the point of mimicking current acts that were enjoying mainstream popularity. I can't pretend that the artists known as Gene & Eddie weren't an attempt to create another Sam & Dave, and the tight funk of their single "I Tell You" is a wonderful track, but an almost overly obvious nod to Stax's legendary duo. Likewise, Winfield Parker's "She's So Pretty" (from Volume 4) is a fantastic dancefloor stomper obviously inspired by Wilson Pickett singles like "Land of 1,000 Dances".
As the Ru-Jac story begins winding down into the '70s, their songs faithfully adapt to the times – "Keep Off the Grass" by the terrifically named Dynamic Corvettes employs a wah-wah guitar funk sound that conjures up images of bell bottoms and Streets of San Francisco chase scenes. "Contagious" by Fred Martin Revue updates the Ru-Jac instrumental combo tradition for the Watergate era. "Think of Me As Your Soldier" by Jimmy Dotson & Rhythm By Inner Light Band is a bright slice of late '70s quiet storm ballads, aided in large part by Dotson's flawless, soulful vocalizing and a lovely soprano sax solo.
