-Blake-D- A quintessential 1970's album, not limited to just Soul music but for the whole decade! It really is that fantastic! You got wah-wah guitar, bongos, incredible drums, flute, handclaps, and synchronized vocals with infectious hooks! Of course, a normal re-issue wouldn't have been enough for Mr. Bongo, they went the extra step and added 4 more single-only tracks to this package. For £7.99 ($8.96) it is an absolute BLAST for the price of admission. I can't recommend it enough! Favorite track: Fool's Paradise.

about

Beautiful funk-soul album produced by Jerry Butler, Keg Johnson and Michael Viner, written by Leon Sylvers III.

The Sylvers were a family group from Los Angeles who were very successful during the 70s and into the early 80s, with chart hits – deep into pop-disco territory by then! – including ‘Fools Paradise’, ‘Boogie Fever’, ‘Hot Line’ and ‘High School Dance’. No less than 9 of the 10 brothers and sisters of the family made up the group, often referred to as a Southern version of the Jackson 5.

Sampled by J Dilla, Jazzanova, Ghostface Killah, Snoop Dog and many more.

All of the tracks are the epitome of funk. Albeit 'Handle It' is the one that brings out the 'screw-face' as the groove makes you gnarl with joy. mrcool
