Stones Throw Records presents a glimpse into the lives and music of 16 unsung heroes of the late 60s and early 70s' funk revolution from each corner of the United States. These are musicians that strove to achieve the success of The Meters and James Brown, musicians that played their instruments with a gut-wrenching power unheard in modern music, musicians that testified on wax and have resurfaced some thirty years after disappearing from the music scene. The intensity of their recordings has not lost one ounce of soul with the time passed. Now, finally, the meticulously researched The Funky 16 Corners stands as an historical document to this era in American music.A1 Unknown Artist - Intro 0:42 A2 Ernie & The Top Notes* - Dap Walk 3:05 A3 James Reese & The Progressions - Let's Go (It's Summertime) 2:45 A4 Bad Medicine - Trespasser 5:48 A5 Spider Harrison - Beautiful Day 2:50 B1 Highlighters Band, The - The Funky 16 Corners 5:17 B2 Rhythm Machine, The* - The Kick 6:20 B3 Kashmere Stage Band - Kashmere 4:56 B4 Carleen & The Groovers - Can We Rap 2:13 C1 Co Real Artists - What About You (In The World Today) 2:51 C2 Soul Vibrations - The Dump 2:40 C3 Slim & The Soulful Saints - Fish Head 2:34 C4 Billy Ball & The Upsetters, Roosevelt Matthews - Tighten Up Tighter 2:12 C5 Soul Seven, The - Southside Funk 4:12 D1 Revolution Compared To What - Go To Work (Alternate Version) 3:43 D2 Bubbha Thomas & The Lightmen Plus One - The Phantom 2:18 D3 Billy Wooten, Wooden Glass, The - In The Rain 4:39 D4 Unknown Artist - Outro 1:07 D5 James Bell & The Turner Brothers - The Funky Buzzard 2:22
