 One of the best albums ever recorded in any kind of musicRanked #99 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time"
Great
dark soul album with layered drums, electric piano and forbodding bass
sounds. The vocals, mostly by Sly, are full of despair and emotion, as
are much of the lyrics. "Family Affair" is a major classic with some
really druggy vocals from Sly. "Africa Talks to You" i...

 V.A. - What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves (1967-1977)
Ninety-one tracks deep and five hours long.
This
may be the desert island comp for funk and soul fans. From the New
Orleans ' R&B of Allen Trousie Toussaint," to the funk universalism
of Earth, Wind and Fire, this comp touches nearly all the bases.
There
are seminal jams such as Bay Key's "Soul Finger," but much of this
focuses on rare gems from many of soul's biggest names. Perhaps the
disk's greatest virtue, though, is the attention paid to lesser known
acts, which makes this collection as much a beginning as it is an end.

 An absolute masterpiece and a peak in 70's soul-music.
"For The love Of Money" is a definite track of the period and a good
example of how ambitious the architects behind the so-called Philly
Sound actually were. The title track is a hair-rasising account of the
ships that brought over the slaves from West Africa and it is
definitely another carer high.
One of the most important albums of its era.

 A killer album of 70s New Orleans funk!
A New Orleans funk and soul ensemble who enjoyed moderate success in the mid-'70s, Chocolate Milk
recorded for RCA from 1975 to 1983. Chocolate Milk was lucky enough to
have worked with Allen Toussaint who produced their albums for Sansu
Enterprises.
Their best
songs were up-tempo and/or light dance/novelty numbers such as "Action
Speaks Louder Than Words" in 1975, "Girl Callin" in 1978, and "Blue
Jeans" in 1981. All were Top 20 R&B hits.

 A very rare Soul Disco Funk album. I always enjoy listen to it,
very difficult to find it. Never released on CD.
A must have.
Great
stuff from this super, but frequently forgotten, modern soul funk disco
group. The record's a nice mix of mellow tracks with more up tempo ones
and in its best moments, the production by Jerry Peters hits a nice
spacey edge. Includes the singles "Wake Up & Be Somebody" and
"Loving You Is Really My Game"

 Another lost gem of 70's soul.If you found Soul Children great, this one will blow your mind!
Excellent
work from this oft-overlooked southern soul singer! Tommie's got deep
deep style that'll knock you flat if you dig southern soul or hard soul
-- especially the small label, indie-type variety! Bobby Patterson
wrote most of the tracks on this debut album, and the se...

AMG: Without a doubt, Two Steps From the Blues
is the definitive Bobby "Blue" Bland album and one of the great records
in electric blues and soul-blues. In fact, it's one of the key albums
in modern blues, marking a turning point when juke joint blues were
seamlessly blended with gospel and Southern soul, creating a distinctly
Southern sound where all of these styles blended so thoroughly it was
impossible to tell where one began and one ended. Given his Memphis
background, Bobby "Blue" Bland was perfectly suited for this kind of
amalgam as envisioned by producer/arranger Joe Scott, who crafted these

Truly magical stuff this first album by this little-known but magnificent Latin Rock band.
Worth it just for ''Suavecito'', an amazing lowrider anthem,
Jorge Santana(Carlos
Brother) plays lead guitar on this album, but Malo's sound incoporates
more vocals and percussion into the music which contrasts Carlos
Santana's guitar-focused style. Lots of great percussion sounds fill
this record as well as romantic spanish lyrics
