Rare Funk Uncovered - 15 Essential Ghetto Gems

Welcome to "Rare Funk Uncovered," a hidden treasure trove of deep funk and soul grooves from some truly underrated artists of the 60s and 70s. Released by Goldmine Soul Supply in 2004, this compilation brings together a unique collection of tracks that showcase the raw, infectious energy of funk. Many of the artists featured here never reached mainstream fame, but they played vital roles in their local scenes and even crossed paths with more well-known musicians. Take Dottie Wright, for example, who opens the album with "Eclipse of a Lover." She had a brief, yet impactful career, with a vocal style that channels the emotive power of icons like Aretha Franklin. Scotty & The Rib-Tips, featured on "The Greasy Spoon Part 1," were a regional favorite in the funk scenes of the Midwest, with members that later collaborated with bigger names in jazz and blues. One of the standout tracks, "You Can’t Hide the Real You" by High Society, embodies the smooth, yet powerful sound that was often found in underground funk clubs of the era. Another gem is Ken Chaney’s "Keep on Gettin," a track that features Chaney’s keyboard wizardry. He would later go on to work with jazz greats like Art Blakey and Eddie Harris, making his contribution to the album even more special. Closing the album is Anna Raye with "Anna's Thing," a rare recording that captures the grit and passion of the deep soul movement. Raye’s work remains a cult favorite among collectors of obscure funk records, making this compilation a must-have for anyone looking to dive deep into the roots of funk. With each track, you’ll experience the raw talent of artists who might not have become household names but left an indelible mark on the soul and funk scenes of their time. So, sit back and enjoy this journey through the lesser-known, but equally powerful world of rare funk!
