Special Collection of Urban Funk, Soul and Lounge Music - Urban Music for Urban People! Feel The positive vibes of the City Life!

Released in 1982, the double-album Original Musiquarium I summarizes Stevie Wonder's classic period of the '70s, concentrating primarily on the hits, but adding a few album tracks to hint at the depth of his albums, as well as four new songs (one for each side, all pleasant, none particularly remarkable). Though there could be some dispute about the album tracks, this does wind up as an excellent overview of Wonder's period of greatest activity, and it's a terrific listen to boot – any record that sports such hits as "Superstition," "You Haven't Done Nothin'," "Living for the City," "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," "Higher Ground," "Sir Duke," "Boogie on Reggae Woman," and "I Wish" is guaranteed to be a great listen, and it is. Wonder remains a quintessential album artist, but this record is a terrific snapshot of the highlights.

2004 compilation from the 60s/70s rock/soul outfit whose first hit was a cover of the Temptaions' 'Get Ready', which is included here along with 17 other tracks. Rare Earth is an American blues rock band affiliated with Motown's Rare Earth record label (named after the band), which prospered from 1970–1972. Although not the first white band signed to Motown, Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members.

Martika's Kitchen is the second album released by pop singer Martika. Released in 1991, it features four songs written and produced by Prince. The album was a departure in musical styles from Martika's debut album. Martika's Kitchen incorporates elements of gospel, jazz, funk, R&B and traditional Cuban music. The title track cracked the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Prince-penned gospel song "Love… Thy Will Be Done" made the top 10. The four Prince songs (tracks 1, 2, 3 and 10) on the album were recorded by him and then sent to Martika to overdub. Three of those songs were based on a lyrics notebook Martika had given Prince for inspiration.

Futuresex/Lovesounds is the 2006 CD by former boy band star Justin Timberlake. The follow-up to his debut album Justified, this CD features a lot of voluptuous and erect songs, including "My Love", "Sexyback", "Summer Love", and "What Goes Around…/…Comes Around". Great music for dancing, romancing, and thick pumping. This was released by Jive via Zomba.

Viva Soul is the 1968 album by The Harvey Averne Dozen. Released on Atlantic, this album features covers of songs by The Beatles and The Mamas & The Papas plus original composition. Averne is still considered one of the best pianists and vibraharpists of our time, who brought in vocalist Kenny Seymour to help him and his band in these sessions. This is taken from the Japanese CD released in 2000.

Following up on the success of their 2002 set Boogie Woogie Christmas, the Brian Setzer Orchestra get back in the spirit of the season this year with the release of a new holiday album and DVD. This Japanese pressing features 13 Christmas tracks including 'White Christmas', 'You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch', 'Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!', 'My Favorite Things', 'Jingle Bell Rock' and more, plus the earliest release and a bonus track. The set also includes the new Setzer tracks 'Hey Santa' and 'Santa Drives a Hot Rod'. Vap. 2005.

By the time they released Fire On the Bayou in 1975, the Meters (now a quintet, with addition of Cyril Neville to the lineup) had graduated from regional cult heroes to internationally renowned recording act. In addition to playing on records by the likes of Paul McCartney, Dr. John, LaBelle and Robert Palmer, they were personally invited by the Rolling Stones to open their 1975 U.S. tour. The momentum helped Fire On the Bayou to become one of the Meters' most acclaimed and commercially successful albums. It remains a fan favorite, thanks to such gritty classic jams as "Talkin' 'bout New Orleans" and "They All Ask'd for You," which demonstrate the band's effortless instrumental expertise and organic rhythmic rapport. This remastered expanded edition contains five bonus tracks.

Wonder's "classic period", which is widely considered to have ended in 1977, was noted for his funky keyboard style, personal control of production, and series of songs integrated with one another to make a concept album. In 1979, Wonder made use of the early music sampler Computer Music Melodian through his composition of the soundtrack album Stevie Wonder's Journey Through "The Secret Life of Plants". It was also his first digital recording, and one of the earliest popular albums to use the technology, which Wonder used for all subsequent recordings. Wonder's 1970s albums are regarded as very influential; the Rolling Stone Record Guide (1983) wrote they "pioneered stylistic approaches that helped to determine the shape of pop music for the next decade"

Billed as the first Santana compilation to span his entire career, it is true that Ultimate Santana does indeed run the gamut from 1969's "Evil Ways" to 2002's "Game of Love," but if you think that means it handles all phases of his career equally, you'd be sadly mistaken. Essentially, this 18-track set plays like a collection of highlights from his Supernatural-era comebacks, spiked with a couple of classic rock oldies – because that's what it really is. It contains no less than ten superstar duets, including new numbers with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger (the streamlined and smoothed "Into the Night," which has little of Kroeger's trademark growly histrionics) and Jennifer Lopez and Baby Bash ("This Boy's Fire," a dance number where Santana seems incidental), plus a version of "The Game of Love" with Tina Turner (don't worry, the lighter, brighter, superior Michelle Branch version is here too) and plus "Interplanetary Party," which is a new band recording that sounds like a star duet.

That Woman Is Poison is the 1988 album by singer Rufus Thomas, the crown prince of dance. This was released by Alligator Records.
