Soul and Funk- beyond the obvious

	Just as I Am/Still Bill by Bill Withers Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £28.58 Some well known tracks but this 2fer contains some of the best and most original Soul from the early 70s, and some surprisingly funky stuff too
	Damn Right I Am Somebody by Fred Wesley & the JB's Buy used from: £49.99 JB produced this for his band leader, and what an album. A serious funk groove can be expected - you won't be disappointed
	Be What You Are by The Staple Singers Buy used from: £11.00 the family at their peak - not a duff track here, try Heaven if you want to hear Mavis at her best
	The Story of Curtom: Curtis Mayfield's Soul Family by Various Artists Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.50 Curtis Mayfield's label, cruelly ignored in recent years, this contains some real classics, as well as some of Curtis's less well known sides
	This Girl's in Love With You by Aretha Franklin Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £5.40 Not her best known, but for me her best album -listen to Let It Be and then tell me it wasn't written for her - includes several other stand out tracks
	Star Time by James Brown Buy new: £37.98 / Used from: £23.50 OK this one might be obvious, here you get the full effect of James Browns influence on Soul, Funk and music in general - you must own this if you call yourself a soul or funk fan

	The World Is a Ghetto by War Buy used from: £9.74 West coast Funk at its best - City Country City is epic
	James Brown's Funky People, Pt. 2 by Brown James Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.93 More James Brown productions, showcasing his vocalists on an array of funk and soul - put this on and try not to dance - there are 2 other volumes both just as worthy of your attention
	Understanding/Communication by Bobby Womack Buy used from: £6.00 One of the greats who doesn't get the recognition he deserves, this 2fer showcases the man at his best - can you understand that
	Everything Is Everything by Donny Hathaway Buy new: £5.28 / Used from: £7.77 He died before he could become a superstar, and he surely would have rivalled Marvin, Curtis, Isaac etc. This is his first album and it oozes quality - The Ghetto remains a masterpiece
	Psychedelic Shack & All Directions by The Temptations Buy new: £8.48 / Used from: £9.67 Yup they were a great vocal group, they also got funky when Norman Whitfield was let loose on their sound - these are from the period just before the production took over totally
