I've tried not to recommend "best of" compilations, although none of them would be bad. There are a ton of funk compilations out now, too, and most are worth it. I've stuck with the tried and true names here. I'll leave it for others to pull out the rare 12" funk slabs... 70s must haves include: Herbie Hancock: Headhunters http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A140166 Parliament: Mothership Connection http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A14885 Sly and the Family Stone: Fresh http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A18265 War: All Day Music http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A21472 Stevie Wonder: Innervisions http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A22215 Ohio Players: Gold http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A14392 Early 80s: Herbie Hancock: Future Shock http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A152867 Cameo: She's Strange http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A3192 Prince: Dirty Mind http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A15800 Zapp: http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A22579 Gap Band: Gap Band III http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=A7999 That should give any funk-starved mind enough blowing. ;^) -- There4IM
