5.0 out of 5 stars Raw Funk at its Best, April 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Miami Sound: Rare Funk & Soul From Miami (Audio CD)

When this came out in 2003 (i think), it was a very welcome addition to my collection. A MUST HAVE for any funk or soul lover. It is a collection of wikked late 60s and early 70s funk/soul. You may have heard some tracks already but some not.
Very gritty, excellent. The best tracks which are also old personal favourites of mine like "90% of me is you" by Gwen Mccrae, "you gotta be a man" by Helene Smith. In short its all good. If your into funk and soul you need this, believe!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for Soul Jazz records, September 13, 2003

This is a great compilation of funk-infused shoulda-been-golden oldies. Many of these songs are full of style, personality, and have lovable lyrics; highlights include "I get lifted," "funky cat," and the lovely "don't let the good times go bad." The only reason I didn't give this CD 5 stars is that I feel Soul Jazz Record's "New York Noise" compilation is a more captivating CD as a whole. Heck, just buy both!

5.0 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC COLLECTION OF SOUL, June 17, 2003

This compilation is essential. Maybe only 3 tracks that are filler. The rest is amazing. Couldn't ask for a better deal. If you like raw soul then this is a must-have.
