When I was 12 my Dad tried to tell me Gomer Pyle was an amazing singer. I laughed and laughed and I totally thought he was joking. Then I saw a commercial featuring his KTel Greatest Hits compilation. I thought it was parody. But it wasn't. Years later I was in a thrift store and bought a copy. It's actually pretty good....I like this version of Sunshine better than Stevie's anyway.....

YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE: JIM NEIGHBORS

BREAD ALONE:JUNIE
When I first bought this out of a dollar bin in around 1991, I could not believe a non-retarded person could have produced this album. That's because I was very
unfunky. This album is embarassingly funky. Its almost abrasively honest in it's funkiness sometimes, sometimes it even stinks it's so funky. But like a good stinky cheese, it's worth taking the time to get to know.
Junie has been a part of the OHIO PLAYERS and PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC. I'm pretty sure he's not retarded.

Mardis Gras
Heres some New Orleans music so you can stay home and be depressed instead of having the greatest party ever.
Scrappy Chief (Lil Scrappy vs DR John) : Diplo
This on the Bside of Hollertronix 4. I am aware that Scrappy is from Atlanta but seriously, Dr John makes up for that. Besides, this track is jammin. Go to MadDecent.com for more Diplo and Hollertronix stuff....go to New Orleans for everything else.
I got this off a compilation I bought in NOLa called Funky Funky New Orleans Vol.4. There is some great forgotten bands on there. Worth the price for the cover alone.
