Various Artists - Classic Funk (2015)

Compiled from both Warner and Universal Music’s extensive catalogues this 3CD collection of Classic Funk features the most iconic tracks from the biggest names in the genre. Live at Fillmore West is an album by King Curtis, released in 1971. The album showcases the concert he played with his band The Kingpins at the Fillmore West venue in San Francisco in March 1971 who were supporting and backing soul singer Aretha Franklin. Earth, Wind, & Fire is the self-titled debut album by the group Earth, Wind & Fire, released in 1971 on Warner Bros. Records.
