Fat Larry’s Band “Act Like You Know” (WMOT Records)

“Act like you know — this is your way to shine.”

Released in 1982, “Act Like You Know” is the ultimate slow-burn funk anthem. With its buttery bassline, synth glides, and silky vocals, Fat Larry’s Band delivered a track that became an underground favorite, especially in the U.K. and on the quiet storm scene. The groove is mellow, but it hits — soulful and stylish with just the right touch of attitude.

Though not a massive chart hit in the U.S., it became a cult classic and a dance floor must-have for crate diggers, roller skaters, and funk heads. DJs have been flipping it in hip hop, R&B, and house sets for decades.

Released on WMOT Records (We Men of Talent), a Philly-based label known for its deep soul catalog, the 12-inch pressing featured the full extended mix. The WMOT label — crisp, bold, and rooted in that rich Philly sound — is reprinted on this tee just as it appeared on the vinyl.

Cool, confident, and timelessly funky. Wear “Act Like You Know” and let ‘em know you’ve got the groove.
