1	Pure Funk (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Since Pure Disco was a success, Mercury decided to assemble a sequel, Pure Funk. Like its predecessor, Pure Funk is a terrific 20-track collection of funk classics, from Rick James"Super Freak" to Parliament's "Flashlight." A couple of songs are marginally funk -- it's hard to call the kitsch-fest "Kung Fu Fighting" or Earth, Wind & Fire's sultry ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.26!
2	Pure Disco, Vol. 3 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The third volume in the Pure Disco series includes several of the era's classics -- Chic's "Le Freak," the Trammps' "Disco Inferno," Donna Summer's "Could It Be Magic," the Village People's "In the Magic" -- as well as a few later selections like "Fame" by Irene Cara, "Heart of Glass" by Blondie, and "Lay All Your Love on Me" by ABBA. Keith ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $10.26!
3	Disco Box (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's four-CD Disco Box is the most impressive disco retrospective yet assembled, featuring 80 tracks and exhaustive liner notes which chronicle the music's history, artists, innovations, and subsequent influence. Like many of the best Rhino anthologies of this sort, The Disco Box is a mixture of acknowledged classics and neglected yet ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $45.88!
4	Pizzazz (1980) more music like this by Patrice Rushen When Patrice Rushen was being lambasted by jazz snobs for making the switch from jazz instrumentalist to R&B/pop singer, she was also winning over quite a few people. R&B fans didn't care if she was no longer playing long, improvised piano solos with Joe Henderson or Hubert Laws; they loved her singing, and couldn't have cared less what jazz snobs ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!
5	Haven't You Heard: The Best of Patrice Rushen (1996) more music like this by Patrice Rushen Nearly every one of Patrice Rushen's R&B hits -- including the Top Ten singles "Haven't You Heard," "Forget Me Nots," "Feels So Real (Won't Let Go)," and "Watch Out" -- are featured on the single-disc anthology Haven't You Heard: The Best of Patrice Rushen. With the exception of "Watch Out," her only Top 40 hit for Arista, the material is entirely ... see all copies from $8.03! new only from $8.03!
6	Now (1984) more music like this by Patrice Rushen Listeners expecting a sequel to to her best-selling 1982 album Straight From the Heart were in for quite a shock. In the two years between the efforts, Rushen became a proponent of the technology-or-bust ethos of many jazz artists in the early to mid-'80s. Given that thinking, Now is both minimal and innovative -- with all of its sonic virtues ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $14.02!
7	Forget Me Nots and Other Hits (2003) more music like this by Patrice Rushen see all copies from $4.59! new only from $4.59!
8	Rock On 1982 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Volume 13 in Madacy's year-by-year overview of the biggest hits of the '70s and '80s is among the few real disappointments in the series -- the number of blockbusters is slim, and one of the inclusions (Missing Persons' "Words") didn't even crack the Top 40. Still, there are a few gems here -- Marshall Crenshaw's power-pop gem "Someday Someway" is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.60!
9	The Disco Years, Vol. 2: On the Beat (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Dozens upon dozens of disco compilations -- some good, some bad -- have been released since Rhino dribbled out their seven-volume Disco Years series in the '90s. While several of the discs that have followed offer consistent track listings and more eye-pleasing packaging, this particular series remains one of the best available. Across seven discs ... see all copies from $11.44! new only from $11.44!
10	Harlem Sessions (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.39! new only from $13.39!
11 view cover	Straight from the Heart (1982) more music like this by Patrice Rushen An early-'80s jazz-pop-R&B synthesis as durable and pleasing as any other, Straight from the Heart was Patrice Rushen's most successful album, at least from a sales standpoint: it peaked at number 14 on the pop chart, 25 slots higher than 1980's Pizzazz. Still working with a core group of associates -- including Freddie Washington, Charles Mims, ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.09!
12 view cover	Signature (1997) more music like this by Patrice Rushen It seems a paradox to peg the singular transcendental moment of Patrice Rushen's very contemporary Signature as the one tune where acoustic jazz sensibilities take over. But without the kick starting impact of "L'Esprit De Joie," a perfectly titled free for all featuring Gerald Albright's roaring alto and real ivories instead of keyboards, this ... see all copies from $8.91! new only from $8.91!
13 view cover	Patrice (1977) more music like this by Patrice Rushen After recording three jazz-oriented albums for Prestige, Patrice Rushen switched to Elektra and gave herself a major R&B/pop makeover with Patrice. Even the funkiest parts of Shout It Out, the last of Rushen's three Prestige/Fantasy albums, couldn't have prepared listeners for this LP, which finds her taking the commercial plunge and successfully ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!
14 view cover	Dance Floor Divas: The 70s (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Though it features some predictable choices, Rhino's Dance Floor Divas: The '70s is still an entertaining collection of songs from disco's most popular songbirds. Sister Sledge's "We Are Family," A Taste of Honey's "Boogie Oogie Oogie," Vicki Sue Robinson's "Turn the Beat Around," and Chic's "Le Freak" have appeared on countless other disco ... see all copies from $2.45! new only from $9.59!
15 view cover	Club Mix's Biggest Jams, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	Posh (1979) more music like this by Patrice Rushen Patrice Rushen entered the 1980s on a high note with Posh, her third album for Elektra and sixth album overall. By that time, it seemed unlikely that Rushen would become a full-time jazz instrumentalist again -- she was enjoying too much success as an R&B/pop singer. And sure enough, it wasn't until 1997's Signature on Discovery that she recorded ... see all copies from $5.54! new only from $8.79!
17 view cover	Double Scale: A Windham Hill Jazz Collection (1999) more music like this by Various Artists After only a few hit projects establishing himself as one of the genre's most popular guitarists, it seems curious why Doc Powell would conceive and produce an all-star concept album like Double Scale rather than do another solo album which might further cement his stature. That said, this is a can' t miss event in smooth jazz/urban funk circles, ... see all copies from $1.99!
18 view cover	Babies Makin' Babies (2002) more music like this by ?uestlove Social historians curious about the origins of the echo boom need look no further than the smooth soul being pumped out during the late '70s. For several years, soul veterans ranging from Barry White to Curtis Mayfield to Earth, Wind & Fire recorded dozens of soft and sultry love anthems even while disco and, later, Muzaky quiet storm stole some ... see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!
19 view cover	Anything But Ordinary (1994) more music like this by Patrice Rushen In the late 1970s and early to mid-'80s, Patrice Rushen was red hot. Anyone who was seriously into R&B at the time remembers hits like "Haven't You Heard," "Forget-Me-Nots" and "Never Gonna Give You Up." But by the end of the 1980s, the jazz pianist turned R&B singer was in trouble commercially. Switching from Elektra to Arista with 1987's Watch ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.00!
20 view cover	Prelusion/Before the Dawn (1998) more music like this by Patrice Rushen This 1998 CD reissues keyboardist Patrice Rushen's first two recordings as a leader except for one selection ("Puttered Bopcorn") from the first date that was left out due to lack of space. Twenty at the time of the earlier set, Rushen showed a great deal of potential for the future, potential that (at least in the jazz world) was unfortunately ... see all copies from $16.10! new only from $16.10!
21 view cover	Smooth Grooves: A Sensual Collection, Vol. 4 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Smooth Grooves: A Sensual Collection, Vol. 4 collects more seductive slow jams and quiet storm ballads, including the Gap Band's "Outstanding," Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing," the Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long," and the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets." Tracks by Debra Laws, Mtume, Patrice Rushen, and Betty Wright are among the other ... see all copies from $3.77! new only from $8.70!
22 view cover	Billboard Top Dance Hits: 1982 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Billboard Top Dance Hits: 1982 has a few big crossover hits, such as "Let It Whip" and "Love Come Down," but its strength is that it compiles such club/dance hits as Chas Jankel's "Glad to Know You," Paul Parker's "Right on Target," D Train's "You're the One for Me," Cheri's "Murphy's Law" and Howard Johnson's "So Fine." These may not have become ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $5.87!
23 view cover	The 80's: Funky Love (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The title is misleading -- Funky Love is not an apt description for these ten urban soul sounds. The collection samples urban contemporary from artists of many styles, including the Manhattans, Jody Watley, and Ready for the World. What's funky about Larry Graham's "One in a Million," the Force MDs' "Tender Love," or Patrice Rushen's "Feels So ... see all copies from $5.67! new only from $7.00!
24 view cover	Classic DJ Mix, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25	Mega Hits Dance Classics, Vol. 5 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Mega Hits Dance Classics, Vol. 5 is a little uneven, but it's an enjoyable collection of 12 disco and dance-pop hits from the '70s and '80s. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95!
