Funky Compilations — CDs  

Classic breaks – all the way through! This may not be the most underground stuff in the world to those out there who've been digging through crates for funk and soul for the past ten years, but it is an exquisite compilation that features some of the best funky tracks used as samples by hip hoppers, nearly every one of them a famous cut that you'll probably recognize in a minute! Titles include "I Like It" by The Emotions, "Dance To The Drummer's Beat" by Herman Kelly, "Cramp Your Style" by All The People, "Hard Times" by Baby Huey, "Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth" by 24 Carat Black, "Kool Is Back" by Funk Inc, "Our Generation" by Ernie Hines, "Heaven & Hell" by 20th Century Steel Band, "Unhooked Generation" by Freda Payne, "Papa Was, Too" by Joe Tex, "Just A Groove In G" by Wilbur Bascomb & The Zodiac, "Be Thankful For What You Got" by William De Vaughn, and "You're Getting A Little Too Smart" by The Detroit Emeralds. 18 cuts in all!

A treasure trove of groovy tunes from 60s France – one of the most wonderful pop scenes of the 20th century, perfectly captured in this great set! The tunes really know how to groove – blending guitars, tight drums, lots of bass, and other cool elements – all in support of catchy little singers, many of whom we'd never heard of, but all of whom really rock our world – despite an obvious language difference! These tunes are all pretty darn great – the kind of numbers that grab you immediately with a groovy magic that's never been duplicated! Titles include "Diba Diba" by Boby Lapointe, "Tu Crois Toujours" by Virgine, "Marilu" by Serge Gainsbourg, "Heuruex Tous Lex Deux" by Frank Alamo, "I Got You Babe" by Eddie Vartan, "Sensationnel Jeffry" by Annie Philippe, "Jimmy Est Parti" by Anouk, "Mon Ami" by Chris Kersen, and "Le Roi D'Angleterre" by Nino Ferrer.
