I'm trying to build my collection a little bit more, and what I need now is R&B and soul. Al Green, Marvin Gaye, anyone else who fits that fine kind of musical feel.

 

[Prospero]

Check out some Smokey Robinson--a greatest-hits album for starters.

James Brown is the undisputed Godfather of Soul. If you have the money, shell out for the four-disc Star Time box.

As far as specific albums, Marvin Gaye's What's Going On is his most popular album. I like Here, My Dear a lot, but it's comparatively more experimental, and a little off the wall.

 

[Substance]

Sly and the Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On
James Brown - Live at the Apollo 1963
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters
