Chic - The Definitive Groove Collection

Chic’s influence on pop, R&B, and dance music can still be heard over 20 years past their time.
Hopefully, This Definitive Groove Collection will open new generations to their ridiculous brilliance.
Every aspect of their music was top-of-the-line, from its engineering and production to vocals, instrumentation and of course, those songs, reminding the rest of us of just how powerful Chic were as a creative force.

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

A true dynamic duo.
He plays the trumpet with pizzazz and verve,
She can belt and improvise with utter ease.
Together, they are an incomparable pair.

James Brown's Original Funky Divas

Click Pic Above For Links
This Collection Shines a Light on the lesser-known side of James Brown's musical empire: the ladies. And what ladies--seriously soulful songbirds like Lyn Collins ("The Female Preacher"), Vicki Anderson and Yvonne Fair, bawdy blues shouter Elsie Mae ("T.V. Mama"), and the unheralded Marva Whitney, who unleashes the hip-hop sample staple "Unwind Yourself." There are also two tracks from a young singer named Tammy Montgomery, who after leaving Brown's tutelage would sign with Motown and emerge as Tammi Terrell. From big hits like Collins's "Think (About It)" to obscure singles such as Elsie Mae's "Do You Really Want to Rescue Me, Part 1" (an answer to Fontella Bass's "Rescue Me"), this two-CD anthology is sheer R&B heaven and essential for fans of gritty, hip-shaking, finger-wagging, "You better think, boy" anthems.
