1	Love Power Peace (1992) more music like this by James Brown James Brown is featured here with the then newly formed J.B.'s -- the maestro's second great band, including Bootsy Collins, Phelps Collins, Jabo Starks, Bobby Byrd, and Fred Wesley. Live at the Apollo had caught James Brown the '50s gospel/R&B singer; Love Power Peace captures James Brown the funkster. In the early '70s Brown turned up the funk, ... see all copies from $6.42! new only from $6.42!
2	Foundations of Funk - A Brand New Bag: 1964-1969 (1996) more music like this by James Brown There are several worthy James Brown compilations. But this is the one, more than any other, that presents his most fertile and innovative soul and funk material. From 1964's "Out of Sight" through 1969's "Mother Popcorn," this was Brown at the apex of his creativity, turning soul into funk in the mid-'60s, then pushing the rhythm even more to the ... see all copies from $27.26! new only from $27.26!
3	Greatest Hits (1963) more music like this by Jimmy McGriff Blue Note's Greatest Hits doesn't limit itself to the recordings Jimmy McGriff made for the label during the late '60s and early '70s. Instead, it culls from his Sue, Veep, and Solid State recordings as well, making it a definitive overview of his career as a gritty, funky singles artist. And, as Greatest Hits demonstrates, McGriff could create a ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
4	Face the Music (2002) more music like this by George Duke The first few seconds of crowd noise on the debut release from legendary funk/jazz keyboardist George Duke's label might lead the listener to believe it's a live recording. But it's just a clever interpolation. Duke fashioned "The Black Messiah" as a cool, soulful, brass-tinged meditation on the musical splendor of his mentor Cannonball Adderley, ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $42.99!
5	JB40: 40th Anniversary Collection (1996) more music like this by James Brown James Brown's catalog was in a shambles for years, but the CD age reversed the situation to such an extent that buyers now have a wide variety of greatest-hits options to choose from. On the whole, JB40: 40th Anniversary Collection might be the best buy, cramming 40 of his biggest hit singles from 1956-1979 onto two discs. It's perhaps a little ... see all copies from $4.77!
6	Green Is Beautiful (1970) more music like this by Grant Green The second album of Grant Green's thorough jazz-funk makeover, Green Is Beautiful finds the guitarist growing more comfortable with harder, funkier R&B than he seemed on the softer-hued Carryin' On. The switch from Fender Rhodes electric piano back to the more traditional Hammond organ certainly helps give the session a little extra grit, but it ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
7	Blue Breakbeats (1998) more music like this by Grant Green Blue Breakbeats is an essential collection of six of the funkiest breakbeat heavy songs in Grant Green's deep Blue Note catalog. Prolifically sampled by beat thirsty hip-hop producers and stylistically influential in separating Green from Wes Montgomery's ever-looming shadow, these songs were compiled from Green Is Beautiful, Visions, Alive!, ... see all copies from $6.33! new only from $6.33!
8	70's Funk Classics [PGD Special] (1995) more music like this by James Brown This 11-track collection includes the best tracks from Brown's '70s funk period, like "Sex Machine," "The Payback," "Think '73," "Make It Funky" and "My Thang." Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
9	70's Funk Classic [Collectables] (2004) more music like this by James Brown Collectables' James Brown's 70's Funk Classics is a pretty good budget-priced, ten-track collection containing some of the Godfather of Soul's most popular songs of the era including "Funky President (People It's Bad)," "Sex Machine" and "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved." Please note that this edition includes the exact same track listing and ... see all copies from $3.18! new only from $3.18!

13 view cover	Troubadours of Groove (1996) more music like this by Various Artists "The Troubadours" are not actually a group, but these are three groovemeisters who made important individual contributions to the soul-jazz and R&B-blues movements. The four Jimmy McGriff and four Richard "Groove" Holmes' organ combo numbers are good but far from essential tracks in their careers. Two Junior Parker numbers are the same, with ... see all copies from $1.99!
14 view cover	So Blue, So Funky (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Note's So Blue, So Funky, Vol. 1 is a 12-track compilation that highlights the funkiest soul-jazz organists that recorded for the label, whether it was a leader or as a sideman. Although there's a handful of cuts from the early '60s, such as "Face to Face" by the terrific, underrated Baby Face Willette, the compilation leans toward the funky ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
15 view cover	Blue Break Beats, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Publishing can be an incredibly lucrative field. Whenever a rapper sampled a recording in the '80s and '90s, the person who owned the publishing stood to make some big bucks -- that is, if the rapper had permission. Some MCs made the mistake of sampling tunes without permission, which resulted in major lawsuits. When Blue Note/Capitol assembled ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!

This particular one is aimed at the funk fan who is looking for the real deep down grooves that haven't been done to death. So we get James Brown doing the obscure Blind Man Can See It, Cymande dropping the inspirational bomb The Message, Kool and the Gang getting very ... see all copies from $17.23! new only from $17.23!

21 view cover	Doing the James Brown (2001) more music like this by Various Artists An entire album of JB covers sounds initially like a project which has got up on the bad foot, but this long-player from Harmless, subtitled "in the footsteps of the godfather of funk" by its compiler (respected journalist James Maycock) works on so many levels that it adds up to an essential purchase for funk aficionados. While some tracks pay ... see all copies from $13.65! new only from $13.65!
