VARIOUS - Funk 45 Sessions (2 CD)

Funk is perhaps the most influential sound in the world today and it’s no secret that many of the finest funk records ever waxed were 45-only releases. Culled from the golden era, 1967-74, we present three dozen of the hottest and heaviest funk 45s to ever hit the street. And, as the Godfather might have said: “Ain’t that a groove. UUUGGNNHH!”
