FUNK
VA - Superbad Funk & Cinematic Soul [2006] (2 x CD's)
Funktastic 28 track, 2 x CD collection of Soul and Funk tracks taken from the blaxploitation films of the 70's as well as songs used in TV shows during the same era ...as if watching and reliving scenes in these films while bopping up and down. Hypnotic rhythms from masters from various musical backgrounds. An enjoyable collection. Among the funk and soul of Isaac Hayes,James Brown Curtis Mayfield and Rose Royce are the themes to the Sweeney, the Prisoner and the Pink Panther.There's a few things on this that have been on other compilations,but there's also some rarer things from Edwin Starr,Mavis Staples,Tom Scott and Charles Earland that make it worth Owning.

Thanks much 70's era soul was my favorite
ReplyDeletehi doors97426,
DeleteThis set is a great listen.
Cheers.
"Harlem Clavinette" is a JJ Johnson composition, not Bobby Womack's
ReplyDeleteThat it is Doc,
DeleteYou are correct.
The album above suggests it is performed by Bobby Womack.
Discogs states as follows. https://www.discogs.com/release/2452531-Various-Superbad-Funk-Cinematic-Soul
Cheers.
I believe that both Bobby Womack & J.J. Johnson are involved with "Harlem Clavinet".
DeletePretty sure it was composed by J.J. Johnson.
Its from their 1972 "Across 110th Street" LP (Album).
Stay safe
Cheers
Stephen
BTW, take a look into "My Compilations" Vol. 035
