Great Forgotten Music
I bought it For Clarence Carter's, Strok'n, but there are many more great songs that I haven't heard in a long time. Great dance music.

memories of the 70's...
When i was a "chavalo" my mom used to listen to the radio while she cleaned the house. She used to play all the soul and funk of the later 70's. Man i can remember how good the music sounded back then. I'm a second generation DJ with a real love for the older music...when it was really music. For you "chavaloes"( young bucks ) out there ...you'll hear a lot of riffs in the songs that sound familiar because of all the sampling done today. This is one of the best compilation CD's i've ever seen. On a lot of the compilation cd's there are often "fillers"...or tunes that are just kinda thrown in to fill space on the CD...not here! They've put together a SOLID group of some "BAD FUNK" and great cuts from the later Disco/Funk era(the music in the later part of the 70's was still called "disco" but it was funk,R&b dance). From "Brick House" to "Mr. Big Stuff" to "Car Wash" to "Don't stop the music"...this CD hits with every song! This is a must have...5 star CD full of the best of memories from the Golden Age of the 70's/early 80's...BUY THIS ONE!!!

Awesome gift
I myself am not a funk fan, but it sure made my boyfriend's week. It has a great selection and has something for everyone.

Great Wedding/Dance Music
We used this CD to create a play list for dancing at our wedding. People had a lot of fun!!

Review of Pure Funk
As a white Boomer of 51, some of these songs were very familiar to me. But most of the artists were 'one hit wonders.' This is why I ordered the compliation. The one song I really liked was "Kung Fu Fighting." Remarkable that the lyrics in "Shaft" were so very limited. The movie was much better.
