Soul Emissaries Superfunk / Various Uk - Soul Emissaries: Superfunk [CD]

2015 release, an installment in the SuperFunk series. In the last couple of years the soul and funk collecting scenes have moved closer together. Superfunk's Soul Emissaries reflects the increasing demand for funky soul. 20 tracks composed of rarities, classics, unknown obscurities and previously unreleased masterpieces. From the first category we have used our contacts in the American south to serve up Les Getrex's bluesy funk masterpiece 'I Can Feel It In My Bones' which has been selling for upwards of $500 after exposure by deejay Ian Wright. Nothing is known of Samson and Delilah, who recorded 'You Bring The Tears' at Malaco Studios, except that their single has been in demand for some time now. Two classic slices of sister funk from Viola Wills and Marcene Harris sit alongside obscurities by Earl Foster, Billy Cee and Tribe whose 1975 funk take on Toots and The Maytals' 'Funky Kingston' has flown under the radar for years. The time is right for proper exposure on dancefloors up and down the country.
