Pure Funk

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 ...

Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength

Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

The idea behind Rhino's Instant Party Disc series is that any compilation bearing the label Instant Party Disc is guaranteed to turn the lamest gathering into a rip-roaring bash. Which is why there's nothing but party favorites here, regardless of style, genre or decade -- "Celebration," "We Are Family," "Tequila," "Rock This Town," "Mickey," ...

Pure Funk, Vol. 2

Pure Funk, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Like Pure Disco before it, Pure Funk was a success, so there was only one thing for Mercury to do -- release Pure Funk, Vol. 2. Since the Pure series is surprisingly enjoyable, the sequel was welcome and thankfully, it doesn't disappoint. Although some could argue that Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" isn't real funk, most of the album ...

Gap Band IV (1982) more music like this

by The Gap Band

Gap Band IV featured a complete lineup of up-tempo, mid-tempo, and alluring ballads. The feature releases, in order, were "Early in the Morning," "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," and "Outstanding." The first two are energized numbers seasoned around horrific basslines and Charlie Wilson's dazzling vocals. Respectively, they peaked at number one and two ...

The Gap Band III

The Gap Band III (1980) more music like this

by The Gap Band

When Gap Band III came out in 1980, the Wilson Brothers were widely regarded as true heavyweights in the funk field. Many funk experts will tell you that creatively, they were right up there with the likes of Cameo, Rick James, the Isley Brothers, and the Bar-Kays in the early '80s. Over the years, The Gap Band III (which was the group's fifth ...

The Funk Box

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 ...

Funk Classics: The 80's (1995) more music like this

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.

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of The Gap Band (2000) more music like this

by The Gap Band

Except for a few minor differences -- a couple of different track selections, two fewer songs -- 20th Century Masters largely duplicates The Best of the Gap Band, which means that it isn't a bad compilation at all, just a largely unnecessary one. It's mostly a toss-up as to which is better, although The Best of the Gap Band may have a slight edge ...

A fun collection of soul and dance hits, Old School Next Friday is the ultimate party record. Songs like "You Drop a Bomb on Me" and "You Sexy Thing" make this compilation bright and fun, and tunes like the Ohio Players' "Funky Worm" make it unique.

Testimony (1994) more music like this

by The Gap Band

This album is far from the Gap Band's chart-busting albums of the '70s and '80s. The title track is an inspirational ballad. The two most notable numbers are dance-oriented: "Come Into My Life" and "I Can Make You Dance." The former is mid-tempo and the latter is aggressively uptempo. While Charlie Wilson's vocals are still in tact, the material ...

A strong collection of '70s funk jams that will liven any party. The track lengths are inconsistent: Funkadelic's "Not Just Knee Deep" (15:08) escaped the chopping block, but others, like Rick James' "You and I," are edited radio versions. Selections include Instant Funk's "I Got My Mind Made Up," B. T. Express' "Do It Til You're Satisfied," and ...
