This is a vinyl rip of the original Motown LP including covers.ĭuring the early to mid-’70s, funk bands ruled the R&B world. It’s also one of the greatest party albums I own. If you’re already into funk, then you have no right not to own this record. Everyone knows that, deep down, they long to get into funk music, and this is a great place to start. This is an album which really doesn’t let up. The singing is great, as anyone already aware of The Commodores would expect it to be. Right from the opening track you can tell you’re in for something of a treat, the musicianship is fantastic throughout, as are the funk grooves consistently dirty and in your face. Quite different from the soul/pop of The Commodores more well known hits.
