Ohio Players: Heaven Must Be Like This
Kool & the Gang: Hollywood Swinging
Parliament-Funkadelic: Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)
Earth, Wind, and Fire: That's the Way Of the World
Commodores: Brickhouse
Slave: Just A Touch Of Love
Cameo: Single Life
Gap Band: Outstanding
Con Funk Shun: Chase Me
Zapp and Roger: Computer Love
Bark-Kays: Freakshow On the Dance floor

Feel free to add more bands and songs!

Irene, you are too much! That was the trick! To put you on the spot! I love them all too, and i knew it would be tricky to pick just one! Ironically, I heard Firecraker by Mass Production today on my local radio. LOL

I love burning CD's for my friends cuz when they see my library or hear my CD's, they are like "Dude, I haven't heard that song in soooooo long!"
Man, memories. I also like the following stuff:
One Way: THEIR GREATESTS HITS
Leon Haywood: Don't Push It Don't Force It
Roger & Zapp: Heard It Through The Grapevine
Rick James: GREATEST HITS

It's so weird seeing Zapp featuring Roger on here

I actually knew him when I was a kid. He had a house that we used to pass on the way home when we were kids. You always heard music coming from it, and he often came out and gave us sodas in bottles ( that was a big deal to me ). I didn't knwo then that he was actually a respected musician, he was just Mr.Troutman to us. He was a really a very nice down to earth guy who got a big kick out of us "ornery" kids. I was saddened to learn that he had died a few years back though.

You hear that sort of thing in a lot of places. That's not my milieu. Rock and roll is good-time music. I love rock. So did my parents.
