330 - James Brown - In the Jungle Groove

This is a compilation of songs released by James Brown in the late 60's and early 70's as he made the evolution from soul to funk. The album was actually released in the mid-80's as James was getting a resurgence of popularity in the hip hop community. As one might expect with that history, yes, "Funky Drummer" (two versions) are on this album. In the Jungle Groove was meant to be sampled. It is packed with 7 to 9 minute funk jams that beg to be placed on dueling turntables.

Songs I knew I liked: "Funky Drummer" and "Hot Pants" (The version of "Give It Up or Turnit Loose" is a remix of a song I like.)

Songs I didn't know but now like: "It's a New Day"

Songs I can go the rest of my life without hearing again: None
