Pretty much the building blocks of early hip-hop. You'll recognize many of the songs even if the titles look unfamiliar...

that is a killer tune

Trust me on that.

Some days, James Brown's heavy funk period rules my world. What are the best various artist funk compilations out there inspired by the Godfather?

If you don’t already know them, JBs Funky People cd comps are great, which is the JBs backing up others in the Godfathers orbit.

It's not all JB-influenced, but Rhino's What It Is box (a 4-disc Nuggets-esque deep dive into Warner Music's Funk holdings) is very much worth grabbing if you can get it for a good price.

I also literally just picked up a copy of James Brown's Funky Divas, a generous two-disc set issued as part of Polydor's Deep Dive '90s JB reissue campaign that spotlights his work with Vicki Anderson/Marva Whitney/Lyn Collins etc. It's OOP, but available on streaming.

Rhino's WHAT IT IS box , the rare-ish Funk/Soul thingy late 60s/early 70s- as awesome as it seems?
