Give me some. Roy Ayers, Gil Scott-Heron, Rick James. That sort of shit.

[mks]

Have you heard of this band? One of my favs.

Good stuff. Cheers.

I guess I should actually contribute something.

Funnily enough this record arrived in my house yesterday.

On a similar (80s) tip, this one has been on repeat for much of the morning:



This is great (original is fiyah too but I think I prefer this version)



I fully expect to spend a lot of time in this thread

Been playing this one today:

[faultier]

kind of "digging for dummies" but just check compilations to get started if you know nothing about soul/funk/rnb? then you can dig further for the artists you like

Has anyone posted zapp or clinton yet? If not..

[Dystinkt]

Thanks to every ninja in the thread for giving me a playlist when I next pull

[mks]

This whole album is great!!

[lazyalf]

Have to post this tune on here, it's just INSANE.



Hard to believe this was done recently. Such an 80's funk/boogie feel to it. LOVE IT

[Kochari]

^Second that. Anything on PPU is well worth a look.

For example:

[topmo3]

r&b is everything

[lazyalf]

Funky tune of the day:



Anybody into this type of stuff who doesn't own a copy of the 'Nard album is seriously sleeping. One of the most sampled records in hip-hop.

[therapist]

Quality stuff. That's a banger Alf.

Anyone got any suggestions of compilations of this sort of stuff? I find it a good way to find new (old in this case) artists.
