This post goes out to someone way off there in NY,NY. Hope this post finds you well mate-keep it Rocksteady and it'll be all good. :-)
As many of Cuik's readers know I am BIG into compilations. Down with the album I say! Needless to say I am a sucker for anthologies and collections so I came across this today and reckon it's worth recommending here. For anyone who is already a fan or if you want and introduction to Funky Soul and Rare Grooves you should check this out.
Rhino Records has released a box set, What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves (1967-1977). With Rocksteady from Aretha Franklin (see below), "I’m Just Like You,” a song recorded by Sly Stone under the pseudonym 6ix, and tunes by The Meters, who can be heard with Cyril Neville on the classic “Gossip”, an in other guises along with numerous others.
Coming in at $65 here it is pricy so you should look at iTunes.....$40 for around 80 tunes. Or just buy the tunes you like (as I do). This box set would do well to compliment New Orleans Funk (New Orleans: The Original Sound of Funk 1960-75), and Philadelphia Roots from Soul Jazz Records.
Cheers,
Cubik
