With over a staggering ½ million sales of Ministry of Sound’s ‘Groove’ series to date it’s only right that we venture back to the decade of feel good funk. A constant influence for the last 30+ years be it Soul, Funk, Disco or Motown, this is where it all began, this is 70s Groove.
We get the ball rolling with ‘The Godfather of Soul’ James Brown ‘Get Up’ alongside funk fuelled classics from Curtis Mayfield, Tempations and the legendary Isley Brothers The beat goes on with the original hip hop classic from Sugarhill Gang, one of the most recognised film soundtracks from Isaac Hayes and Motown’s controversial anthem from Edwin Starr.
Moving into the disco groove H Michael Jackson reminds us as ever why he was the undisputed King of Pop with is top five hit ‘Don't Stop Till You Get Enough’. We boogie on down with Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang and Barry White whilst including recently covered hits from Donna Summer and Labelle.
This album however wouldn’t be complete with the smooth soul legends that became an inspiration to many of today’s artists from Marvin Gaye to Al Green, Bill Withers to the Commodores amongst many others; you have it all here on a disc that winds things down in the best way possible.
Make this the perfect gift this Christmas… 70s Groove from Ministry of Sound.
