Here's a miscellaneous collection of various rare groove audio clips from the late 60s, 1970s, and early 80s. Styles featured include obscure funk, boogaloo, Latin, groove jazz, hard funk, and dancefloor (rare disco). Plus the funky stuff from my hometown of New Orleans will be indicated with an asterisk.
Hope you dig 'em all. Just scroll down the page for the links to the sound clips.
Note: All of these come from my personal collection and not all of them are in completely mint condition. I hope you don't mind the snaps, crackles and pops.
