The Brothers Johnson were an American funk and R&B band consisting of American musicians and brothers George ("Lightnin' Licks") and Louis E. Johnson ("Thunder Thumbs"). They achieved their greatest success from the mid-1970s to early 1980s, with three singles topping the R&B charts ("I'll Be Good to You", "Strawberry Letter 23", and "Stomp!").

First released in 1969, 'A Black Man's Soul' captured Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm at their funkiest. Armed with songs written by Turner, his St. Louis colleague Oliver Sain and more, Ike & His Kings combined R&B with funk, rock and gospel to create an album that shows off the wide spectrum of black music.

This release contains some of the finest and most sought-after examples of Ike Turner's funk artistry, including Grammy-nominated "Thinking Black" and DJ breakbeat jewel "Funky Mule."

1969 was a banner year for Ike & The Kings of Rhythm, as well as for Tina Turner. At the Grammy Awards, "Thinking Black" was nominated in the category of Best R&B Instrumental while Tina made the list of nominees for Best Female R&B Singer.

Included are all tracks from the original 1969 release, plus unreleased bonus tracks that offer a fine meal to any aficionado or an in-depth primer to those just discovering the globally reaching genius, funk, and soul of Ike Turner.

Sylvester "Syl" Johnson is an American blues and soul singer and record producer.

Recorded by a 14-strong collective of professional musicians from Muscle Shoals and Memphis, this smoldering collection of psych-tinged soul and funk first appeared in 1970. Featuring strong melodies, tight rhythms, fuzzy guitars and superb organ work (or, as the original sleevenotes put it, "real fine, funky, hard-driving, up-tempo, contemporary, down-home, nitty-gritty solid soul"), it's been a legendary rarity for years and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.

More than three decades after its original release, and for the very first time on CD, is Marie Queenie Lyons cult classic "Soul Fever", one of the most well regarded "lost" albums of all-time. Queenie certainly had the qualifications (in both sass and vocals) to be hired by James Brown as one of his "funky divas". Marie "Queenie" Lyons is an enigma. After the 1970 release of this, her only album, she disappeared forever. Because of the prodigious wealth of talent in black America at the time, great albums with tiny marketing budgets were often overlooked. 'Soul Fever" was just one drop in a fabulous, funky ocean. Over the decades, this album has become one of the rarest and most prized Southern soul albums from that prolific era. Seriously recommended for fans of Betty Davis.
