Introducing... Funk Drops

I figured that as an introduction nothing could be more approriate than "Funk Drops," since, well, that's what I'm gonna be offering. This compilation shows a good mix of more mainstream funk acts like Tower of Power, The Meters, and Earth Wind & Fire along with their more obscure cousins such as Cold Grits, San Fransicso-based Cold Blood, and Eldridge Holmes, who recorded his cut on the record, "Pop Popcorn Children," with The Meters as a backing band. A worthy grab for anyone looking to get a more general introduction introduction the realm of funk, or for anyone looking to hunt down some good breaks.

In two parts:
