Recommended!! The beginnings of Funk before it was shaped as it was much later. According to this album's notes, some of it came from the Jazz musicians in New Orleans who went to other clubs after their regular work and started playing a more downtempo and dirty kind of stuff just for fun. A theory that makes sense after listening to these 47 numbers from years before Funk even had a name. This is basically a great R&B comp. With Yvonne Fair, Eddie Bo, Huey "Piano" Smith, Earl King, Turniquettes, James Brown, Bill Doggett, Billy Stewart and Roy Montrell among others.

Recomendado!! Los comienzos del Funk antes de que éste tomara forma definitiva. Según las notas de este disco, en parte se debe a que algunos músicos de Jazz de Nueva Orleans se dedicaban a ir a otros clubs después de sus shows y allí improvisaban temas más relajados y sucios para divertirse. Una teoría que cobra sentido después de escuchar estos 47 temas de antes de que el Funk tuviera nombre....aunque básicamente se trata de un estupendo recopilatorio de R&B. Con Yvonne Fair, Eddie Bo, Huey "Piano" Smith, Earl King, Turniquettes, James Brown, Bill Doggett, Billy Stewart y Roy Montrell entre otros.
