Tom Joyner, host of one of America's most popular radio shows, has crafted an "old school mix" featuring a slew of some of the greatest dance classics of the 70's. Talk about your hits, this one has the ones that had discos "thumping and bumping" into the morning's wee hours. "Best of My Love, "Got to be Real," "Le Freak," "I'm Every Woman," along with fourteen other "scorchers" will get those hearts a-pumpin' and those feet a-jumpin'!

An additional note, always the humanitarian and concerned citizen, Joyner includes information about his foundation in the hopes of acquiring funds to help needy college-bound kids.

The check is in the mail, my man!

I went to a party this weekend. I happened to take part of my CD collection. This CD was one that I took upon myself to put in the stereo--and I was pleased with the results. At this gathering, everyone hit the floor to dance upon hearing these songs. Men and women, young and old, everybody including myself danced until we hurt ourselves. This CD is the best. Non-stop! I give it ten stars.

This CD brought back some serious old school vibes. We jammed all night long! The crowds language mentioned only words like - That's my jam! - Hey Remember That Jam! - This music is bringing back too memories! This CD HAS A SERIOUS COLLECTION OF JAMS!

This CD is great! The songs all flow into each other to provide a smooth continuous dose of old school funk. It went over great at a party that I went to, and it plays just as well on that long drive to Vegas! I highly recommend this CD.

I really can't agree with some of the other reviews of this album saying that certain tracks are tired, and sloppily-mixed. Sure, some of the tracks are classics that you will have heard before, but there are several leftfield choices and quite a few real gems. Steve 'Silk' Hurley's mix uses Protools' trickery, tuning and filters to make the transition between tracks either seamlessly or cleverly. Although he is better know for his house tracks/remixes, there's nothing sloppy about this CD at all. Despite the second volume still being my favourite, this first one remains a perfect party-starter, and I can't wait for the next volume to come out.

MAd Props TO Steve Silk'Hurley&Of COurse The Genius Mind Of Tom Fly Jock' Joyner.The Grooves Never Stop Here.It's a Straight Party Jam all the way through.ALot Of Fun&Funk.

Tracks 1(Zapp), 5(slide(slave)), 7(one nation under a groove) are the best. That itself clinches the cd as a 5-start rating.

Thank you Tom Joyner Morning Show and Steve"Silk" Hurley, for some of the best, if not the best collection of music to groove to, party to and exercise to! What an awesome collection of music.

It's a definite hit!

Are there other Old School Mixes available? I've heard there are previous versions and would like to purchase them; especially if they do some serious jamming as these tunes do.

Thanks, again!

....how many times can you get away with putting "More Bounce To the Ounce", "Dazz", "Slide" and "Funkin' For Jamaica" (which, like I said earlier, is ubiquitous) on ol' Skool mixes and expect to sound fresh? I am positively surprised that "Atomic Dog" and "Genius Of Love" is not on this, this being a bucket of cliches...find something new, we're wearing these jams out.

It brings back memories as I go on my way in the car beboping to the music. I would buy more if I heard them.
