A really heavy duty collection featuring some of the biggest names in soul music. These are the grand masters of funk, the bandleaders and artist who provided the dynamic sound track for an exciting decade. When you've got James Brown singing 'I Got Ants In My Pants' you know you're in for an itchy night out. And when Isaac Hayes tells you to 'Do Your Thing' then you'd better believe it. All musical aspects of the genre are represented, from the driving dance rhythms of Sly Stone to the more introspective instruments work of Ripple.

Thanks for this post. Nice to see Sly and the Family Stone on the tracklisting. "If You Want Me to Stay" is a great song from an underrated album. I write about this and Sly's place among funk masters like James Brown in my book about Sly - Sly: the Lives of Sylvester Stewart and Sly Stone. Check it out at Amazon.com or at http://www.lulu.com/content/1412956
