Oozing style and substance, the album is full of fiery\u003cbr\u003ehorn sections, strutting guitars and infectious basslines tracked by plenty of prime\u003cbr\u003ebreakbeats. Front to back stacked with highlights, cuts from the album have been\u003cbr\u003efamously sampled by DJ Shadow, Coldcut, and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor years Funky Super Fly has been a funk aficionado favourite. It's a sensational set\u003cbr\u003eof recordings from vocalist and bandleader Bobby Williams, with plenty of cherished\u003cbr\u003eraw-funk heaters in the mix. 'Funky Superfly', 'Soul Brother Party', and 'Let's Jam', are\u003cbr\u003ethree standouts that have all the ingredients to ignite even the most subdued of\u003cbr\u003edancefloors. The unprocessed natural energy in these songs speaks to your very soul\u003cbr\u003e- Bobby grooving over his captivating funk- fuelled band with dynamism and class.\u003cbr\u003eBoth 'Funky Superfly' and 'Soul Brother Party' appear on the album as one continuous\u003cbr\u003etrack, whereas on the 7\" versions they were cut into parts 1 \u0026amp; 2.Alongside the\u003cbr\u003euptempo dancers on the album, Bobby goes deep on the soul ballad 'Morning Of\u003cbr\u003eLove', which simmers with intensity and heartache. The album's closing instrumental\u003cbr\u003etrack, 'Fair Trade,' has a wah- wah guitar- driven Blaxploitation film soundtrack\u003cbr\u003esensibility, and is a slept-on gem off the album nestled amongst the big hitters.\u003cbr\u003eThe use of Bobby's music has been sampled decades later, immortalising him for a\u003cbr\u003enew audience of record collectors and sample hunters. The pulsating title track 'Funky\u003cbr\u003eSuperfly' was used as a sample source for DJ Shadow's 'The Number Song' off his\u003cbr\u003eiconic Endtroducing..... album in 1996. In addition, 'Soul Brother Party' was used a\u003cbr\u003eyear later on Coldcut's fantastic 'More Beats \u0026amp; Pieces' album. This turned a whole new\u003cbr\u003eaudience onto the magnetism of Bobby Williams' music and added to the frenzy of\u003cbr\u003ehungry DJs in the '90s looking to unearth obscure funk 45s.Funky Super Fly is for\u003cbr\u003ethose who like their funk and soul at its purest. It's no-nonsense, electrifying and one\u003cbr\u003eof the jewels of '70s funk, perfect for fans of James Brown and Charles Bradley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bobby Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53470748410150,"sku":"MRBLP347","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/646953d2-55f4-469d-a0d5-f39f18e72b19.jpg?v=1784034279","url":"https:\/\/www.limitedadditionrecords.com\/en-us\/products\/funky-super-fly-vinyl-lp","provider":"Limited Addition Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
