1	Happy Feet [Original Soundtrack] (2006) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Happy Feet, the animated penguin fantasia musical directed by George Miller -- the man behind such acclaimed films as Babe, Babe: Pig in the City, and Mad Max -- is a loose and lively mix of '70s funk and modern club-oriented R&B. Borrowing from the template popularized by Shrek, the soundtrack features both new cuts and old ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.52!
2	The Very Best of Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan (1996) more music like this by Rufus & Chaka Khan The Very Best of Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan contains all of the group's biggest hits, including the number one R&B hits "You Got the Love," "Sweet Thing," "At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up)," "Do You Love What You Feel," and "Ain't Nobody," plus the Top Ten hits "Tell Me Something Good," "Stay," "Hollywood," "Sharing the Love," and "Dance Wit ... see all copies from $6.17! new only from $7.69!
3	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 $5.99! new only from $5.99!
4	Millennium Party: Funk (1998) more music like this by Various Artists After offering comprehensive overviews of funk with the multi-volume series In Yo' Face and Phat Trax, Rhino wisely distilled those two sets into one indispensable single disc, Millennium Party: Funk. Boasting 20 songs, all of which are indisputable classics, Millennium Party is the best single-disc sampler of '70s and early-'80s funk available. ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $16.52!
5	Rags to Rufus (1974) more music like this by Rufus & Chaka Khan In many respects the group seems to be feeling their way through this. Luckily, Rags to Rufus does feature some can't-miss propositions. The great rock and funk mix of "You've Got the Love" all but sums up what Chaka Khan was going to be doing for the long haul. The biggest hit here, "Tell Me Something Good," is a rare instance of an artist like ... see all copies from $6.19! new only from $8.66!
6	Pressure Sensitive (1975) more music like this by Ronnie Laws Ronnie Laws has always been an R&B-oriented saxophonist miscast in the jazz world, starting with his early association with the rapidly declining Blue Note label. His debut album (reissued on CD) has a couple of decent melodies (the opening "Always There" is the most memorable), some soulful tenor and soprano playing by the leader in a style ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.79!
7	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!
8	Stompin' at the Savoy (Live) (1983) more music like this by Rufus & Chaka Khan Rufus' 1983 double LP, Stompin' at the Savoy (Live) was an ambitious, eccentric, and occasionally patchy affair that grew out of a series of live shows the group staged during 1982. With Chaka Khan at least temporarily back in the fold, the band stunned packed audiences with an energetic set of old favorites and new material, even as a second Khan ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $17.90!
9	Gold: Old School Jams (2007) more music like this by Various Artists The terrain sampled here has been trod upon hundreds of times. However, since this double-disc set is part of Hip-O/Universal's Gold series, it shouldn't be disregarded on first sight. While anyone with a basic collection of funk, post-disco, or any other forms of club-oriented R&B spanning the '70s through the first half of the '80s will likely ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
10	Casey Kasem: America's Top 10 Through Years - The 70's (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Like most of the decade-based installments in Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series, this set has its hands full with the genre-flooded charts of 1970s pop. But while most retrospectives would include just a few hits surrounded by hit-or-miss filler, Top 10 is crammed with well-known radio favorites, and offers a nice cross-section of the decade's ... see all copies from $8.14! new only from $15.58!
11	Funk Overload (1998) more music like this by Maceo Parker Having steered the mothership and worked as a triggerman for the Godfather of Soul, storied sax man Maceo Parker now brings his own tight rhythm and soul sound to vinyl (er, plastic) in undeniable proof that he's still "got it." Combining his smoking horn with the backing of fellow legends such as trombonist Fred Wesley and new bloods such as son ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $13.99!
12 view cover	Oldies But Goodies: 13 of the Best 70's Funk (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Original Sound's Oldies but Goodies: 13 of the Best 70's Funk samples 13 tracks that made the pop and soul charts in the mid- to late '70s by the original artists, featuring "Play That Funky Music" (Wild Cherry), "Serpentine Fire" (Earth, Wind & Fire), and "Tell Me Something Good" (Rufus). Also included are popular favorites by the Staple Singers, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Ape-ology [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Lee Perry & The Upsetters A godsend if ever there was one, this two-disc reissue set combines three of Lee "Scratch" Perry's quirkiest and most fascinating LPs, 1976's Super Ape and 1978's Return of the Super Ape and Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Cornbread, in one package along with seven rare and related bonus tracks. It's all vintage Perry, who was at the peak of his powers ... see all copies from $19.61! new only from $19.61!
14 view cover	That '70s Show Presents That '70s Album: Jammin' (1999) more music like this by Various Artists That '70s Show Presents That '70s Album: Jammin' is based on the Fox sitcom That '70s Show -- a somewhat bawdy but harmless comedy about teens in the Me Decade -- and the CD mimics the show's sentiment and attitude quite accurately. The songs are mostly oldie radio staples and include Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music," the Average White Band's ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
15 view cover	Fire & Ice (1989) more music like this by Shirley Brown While some of her labelmates at Malaco (including Johnnie Taylor and Latimore) have continued to record the type of straight-up soul music they embraced in the 1970s, Shirley Brown's Malaco CDs of the late '80s and '90s have found her trying to balance soul and urban contemporary considerations, with mixed results. Decent but uneven, the singer's ... see all copies from $8.96! new only from $14.74!
16 view cover	Party Starter Level 1: The Classics (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Party Starter Level 1: The Classics collects vintage disco, funk, and soul cuts like the Commodores' "Brick House," Lipps, Inc.'s "Funkytown," Rick James' "Super Freak, Pt. 1," and Rose Royce's "Car Wash." Donna Summer's "Last Dance," Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up, Pt. 1," Carl Carlton's "Everlasting Love," and the Ohio Players' "Love ... see all copies from $13.53! new only from $13.53!
17	Day 1 (1991) more music like this by Robbie Nevil see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.54!
18	Old School Next Friday (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 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. David Bowie's "Fame" seems like an odd addition to the mix, but overall this collection hangs ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
19 view cover	Sweet Talk (2003) more music like this by Eric Marienthal Eric Marienthal is a technically skilled altoist with a soulful tone and an appealing style. Unfortunately, many of his recordings are strictly for the commercial market, such as Sweet Talk. Marienthal's solos are full of spirit and color but the backup groups, which often include keyboardist Jeff Lorber along with occasional vocalists, are ... see all copies from $4.40! new only from $9.00!
20 view cover	Funk Explosion (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Similar in set-up and scope to Pure Funk, just as Disco Love Collection -- released at the same time by the same label -- appeared to be patterned after Pure Disco, Funk Explosion includes 14 tracks, the majority of which have appeared on several other compilations. As with Disco Love Collection, this is a half-hearted introduction to funk, and it ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
21 view cover	Father's Day (1990) more music like this by Father MC Before Puffy, Mary J., and the rest of the blingers went off to successful chart domination, there was Father MC. Perfecting the marriage of soul, R&B, and rap into a successful formula, Father's Day was not only important, it was a litmus test that launched the careers of both aforementioned artists -- as Combs was head producer and Blige made ... see all copies from $6.74!
22 view cover	Ski (2000) more music like this by Ski Johnson see all copies from $1.99!
23	Second Wave (1988) more music like this by The Wave see all copies from $2.99! new only from $15.90!
24 view cover	Funk Gold (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Hip-O's Funk Gold, a two-disc set, is somewhere between an addendum and an alternate version of The Funk Box, released by the same label nearly five years prior. Between the two releases, there are several overlapping selections (Charles Wright's "Express Yourself," Billy Preston's "Outa-Space," the Brothers Johnson's "Get the Funk Out Ma Face"), ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $8.75!
25 view cover	Three Way Love Affair (1998) more music like this by Shirley Brown An archetypal Southern soul set full of love sagas by Shirley Brown, who's best remembered for her trend-setting "Woman to Woman." You don't buy a Southern soul album expecting ecology messages, world peace pleas, or anti-alcohol messages, and Three Way Love Affair is no exception. "Sprung on His Love," "A Two-Way Thang," "Silent Treatment," and ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
