New Millennium Funk Party

$9.86 CD

Funk—that dynamic, passionate mixture of gospel and rhythm & blues, sprinkled on occasion with just a hint of jazz—has evolved, in acceptance and status, into a virtual religion. Today, there are more devotees feelin’ the funk than ever before. Lots of them have bought up our first Millennium Funk Party collection since its 1998 release (which kicked off the whole million-plus selling Millennium Party series), so we’re back for an encore.  Yo, if you thought that one was funky, you best get a whiff of New Millennium Funk Party—you smell what I’m sayin’? The Mothership has landed again with 20 more booty-motivatin’ old-school ’70s/early ’80s funk classics performed by the original masters, including (among others) The Isley Brothers, the Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, Rick James, Parliament, Funkadelic, Cameo, Marvin Gaye, and, of course, the Godfather who started it all, James Brown.   The defense rests.
