1	The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many ... see all copies from $87.37! new only from $87.37!
2	Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials (1993) more music like this by Various Artists For those looking to find a crash course in "the funk" -- a quick introduction to the fusion of R&B, soul, jazz, blues, good old rock & roll, and all-out outrageousness that creates the ultimate good groove -- you can't do much better than the Funk Essentials compilations. Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials is the perfect portrait. With its ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.84!
3	The Best of Bar-Kays (1993) more music like this by The Bar-Kays When the Bar-Kays joined Mercury Records in 1976, they shifted musical styles slightly, veering away from the goofy yet funky soul instrumentals that defined their Stax singles and concentrating on loose, wild funk driven by fat basslines and whining synthesizers. Mercury's The Best of Bar-Kays captures the majority of the highlights from their ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.34!
4	Injoy (1979) more music like this by The Bar-Kays Its title a snazzy double play, the Bar-Kays' 1979 classic Injoy LP was the first and most successful of a quintet of albums that swept the band to the top of the charts and into the stratosphere of superstardom for half a decade. An energetic and primarily funk-driven set, Injoy was dominated by the supreme "Move Your Boogie Body," an eminently ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.89!
5	Soul Finger (1967) more music like this by The Bar-Kays The Bar-Kays were an aggregate born of the same inspiration behind Booker T. & the MG's -- performing the double-duty of being a backing combo for the significant canon of vocalists on the Memphis-based Stax and Volt labels, as well as a self-contained unit. The original lineup of James Alexander (bass), Jimmy King (guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (organ ... see all copies from $5.64! new only from $11.90!
6	Funk Classics: The 80's (1995) more music like this by Various Artists By the early '80s, R&B acts had to embrace more polished productions and synth-based grooves or face extinction. Without looking too hard for rare gems, Funk Classics: The 80's offers 12 of the better-known tracks from 1980-1988. What's here is really no big surprise: Rick James' "Super Freak," George Clinton's "Atomic Dog," and the Gap Band's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	Old School, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Thump's Old School series contains funk and soul singles from the '70s and '60s. Each volume contains 14 tracks, and while each disc is a little uneven, each has some highlights and classic songs. Among the highlights on Vol. 3 are "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)," "Do It," "Shake Your Pants," "Rock It," "Super Freak" and "Humpin' ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $14.56!
8	The Funk Box (2000) more music like this by Various Artists At four discs and 55 tracks, Hip-O's Funk Box seems to want to be the last word on funk, and while it's a pretty good set, it ends up more representative than definitive of its chosen genre. Virtually all of funk's most important artists are featured, but not always by their most significant singles -- sometimes the collection gets it right, and ... see all copies from $45.64! new only from $52.48!
9	Wattstax: The Living Word (Concert Music from the Original Movie Soundtrack) (1972) more music like this by Various Artists Wattstax: The Living Word is a two-CD document of the all-day festival of Stax acts in Los Angeles in 1972 contains decent performances by the Staple Singers, Eddie Floyd, the Bar-Kays, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Albert King, the Soul Children and Isaac Hayes. It's not remarkably different from what you'll find on those artists' records, however, ... see all copies from $13.49! new only from $13.49!
10	The Best of the Bar-Kays (1988) more music like this by The Bar-Kays While curiously overlooking the group's earliest hits ("Soul Finger" and "Knucklehead"), The Best of the Bar-Kays offers a worthwhile thumbnail portrait of the Bar-Kays' evolution from a neo-Booker T. & the MG's soul instrumental combo into one of the wilder funk ensembles of the 1970s. Focusing on the years 1968 (when the group's second lineup ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
11	Jointz from Back in Da Day, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.70! new only from $12.34!
12 view cover	House Party (2007) more music like this by The Bar-Kays True success was a long time coming for the Bar-Kays, who started out as a sort of second-line studio band behind Booker T. & the MG's at Stax Records in Memphis. After releasing an instrumental hit, "Soul Finger," and becoming the backing band for Otis Redding, it appeared the group was on its way to the kind of success that the MG's had enjoyed. ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
13 view cover	Funk Classics: The 70's (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Funk Classics: The 70's includes many of the style's biggest hits: "Sex Machine" by James Brown, "Too Hot to Stop" by the Bar-Kays, "Get the Funk Out Ma Face" by the Brothers Johnson, "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool & the Gang, and "Up for the Down Stroke" by Parliament.

14 view cover	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $80.00! new only from $80.00!
15 view cover	Black Rock/Gotta Groove (1990) more music like this by The Bar-Kays Black Rock/Gotta Groove brings together the Bar-Kays' second and third albums on one compact disc. The material represents the first work the reformed outfit released after original members Jimmy Lee King (guitarist and leader) and Carl Cunningham (drums) died when their plane crashed in Lake Monona, WI (Otis Redding was also on board). 1969's ... see all copies from $20.91! new only from $20.91!
16 view cover	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974, Vol. 6 (1966-1969) (1985) more music like this by Various Artists In the mid-'60s, Atlantic signed Aretha Franklin, who proved to be every bit as soulful and seminal as Otis Redding, the main star on their Stax subsidiary. Reprsented by such hits as "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Respect," "Try a Little Tenderness," "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and "Do Right Woman -- Do Right Man," Franklin and ... see all copies from $3.98!

18 view cover	Academy Award Winning Songs, Vol. 4 (1970-1981) (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The Envelope Please...Academy Award Winning Songs, Vol. 4 (1970-1981) doesn't have as many great songs as the previous three volumes, or songs that became classics of their era, largely because the Academy never came to terms with rock & roll. There are a few exceptions, such as Isaac Hayes' immortal "Theme from Shaft," but for the most part, they ... see all copies from $15.08!
19	Contagious (1987) more music like this by The Bar-Kays Things were basically a lost cause for The Bar-Kays by the time they issued this album in 1987. Audiences were now solidly into rap, New Jack Swing-styled R&B or smoother, more sophisticated urban contemporary material, and The Bar-Kays weren't able to cover any of those bases. Plus, their new songs didn't sound enough like their hits to score any ... see all copies from $22.00!
20 view cover	Greatest Hits [KRB] (2007) more music like this by The Bar-Kays see all copies from $4.10! new only from $4.10!
21	Banging the Wall (1985) more music like this by The Bar-Kays Pro forma stuff from the revamped Bar-Kays. They cut the group's personnel, completely moved away from their classic sound, and were now doing tightly syncopated, groove-centered material. Only the vocal arrangements sounded familiar, and while they maintained their energy, they didn't get the necessary material to have any hits from this session. ... see all copies from $7.00!
22 view cover	Billboard Top Movie Hits 1970s (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The final volume in Rhino's movie tune series is also the most diverse. Country (Eddie Rabbitt's "Every Which Way But Loose"), R&B (Isaac Hayes checking in with "Theme From Shaft," clearly the best thing in the entire five-volume set), faux-disco (Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now"), soft rock (Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life"), nostalgia (Marvin ... see all copies from $8.30! new only from $42.55!
23	Animal (1988) more music like this by The Bar-Kays The Bar-Kays' final LP until their re-emergence a half-decade later, 1989's Animal was essentially a hollow reprisal of 1987's Contagious. Pared down to a trio comprising Larry "D" Dodson, Winston Stewart, and Harvey "Joe" Henderson for that outing, the band was devastated when longtime producer Allen Jones passed away shortly after. Working now ... see all copies from $7.00!
24 view cover	Do You See What I See? (1972) more music like this by The Bar-Kays Some vigorous funk and an occasional soulful ballad by The Bar-Kays, who were re-establishing their funk credentials and rebuilding after recovering from the '67 plane crash. This album included the title track and several other short, peppy vocal and instrumental numbers, although it wasn't as well-produced as some later '70s and '80s efforts. ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
25 view cover	Money Talks (1978) more music like this by The Bar-Kays Although the Bar-Kays stuck with the Stax Records until its demise in 1976, the label stopped releasing the group's recordings after 1973. However, when they re-emerged as a success on the Mercury label with hits like "Shake Your Rump to the Funk," some unreleased recordings they made between 1974 and 1976 were released as an album entitled Money ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
