Congratulations to Masaki Koike on his Grammy win for "Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package" honoring his work as Art Director on Rhino's WHAT IT IS!: FUNKY SOUL AND RARE GROOVES(1967-1977).
What It Is! Funky Soul And Rare Grooves (1967-1977)
Leading up to the 50th Annual GRAMMY Awards, the legendary Aretha Franklin got royal props as MusiCare's "Person Of The Year," making Awards week an all-around celebration of soul. Perfectly in keeping, Rhino's WHAT IS IS! FUNKY SOUL AND RARE GROOVES (1967-1977) was honored with the GRAMMY for "Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package" for Masaki Koike's stellar art direction. Mining the storied vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Warner Bros., Reprise and Josie , the box is an unprecedented shadow history of gut-bucket funk and gritty soul, compiling rare sides from big name artists and definitive grooves from lesser known masters alike. To complement the grooves, Masaki integrated visual echoes of the golden-era of soul with a sleek contemporary look for a package as super-cool and righteous as the music itself.
