Description

2LP vinyl – GET54084-LP

Originally released in 1988, during the era of hip-hops golden age of sampling, its no surprise that just about every note heard in this incredible collection has been used on not one but multiple rap classics. Which, at the time, was proof of Browns (and his crews) staying power. But were almost three decades beyond those days now, and it has lost none of its musical potency.

Diving deeper into the vaults than the also-incredible Part 1 of the Funky People series, there is not a weak track in the bunch. Moving beyond well-known JBs cuts, things get interesting from the get-go with Bobby Byrds monumental groover I Know You Got Soul. Hank Ballard and Marva Whitney also enter the fray, leading the way to Myra Barnes emotional and powerful Message From The Soul Sisters (Parts 1 & 2) and Lyn Collins slow, smoldering cover of Isaac Hayes Do Your Thing,.
