Funky Little Queenie

JUNKO OHASHI (大橋 純子)

TRACKLIST

SYNOPSIS

Before rising to city pop stardom in the late ’70s and ’80s, Junko Ohashi debuted with Funky Little Queenie—a soulful, groove-heavy record that showcased her powerhouse vocals and love for funk and R&B. Backed by sharp rhythms, horns, and a rawer edge than her later polished pop works, the album captures Ohashi at her most fiery and uninhibited. A hidden gem in her catalog, it stands as a snapshot of Japan’s early embrace of funk, and a prized find for collectors exploring the roots of her career.
