California Soul
Rare groove soul. This is a collection of super obscure Soul, Funk, and Latin tunes from California groups.
1) Slow intro, smooth soul
2) Driving, down-tempo porno soundtrack with cheesed out synth
3) Up-tempo, hard driving piano hook
4) *Choppy Family Stone style funk
5) Guitar and flute, up-tempo proto-disco jazz
6) **Groovy, funky, mainly instrumental
7) **Rare groove classic, seriously spiritual slow soul
8) **Hard bluesy political funk
9) *Groovy slowed down cover
10) *Latin groove with lounge-y vibes
11) *Slow intro into medium cha-cha with a great break
12) Brassy, sassy female vocals
13) Mellow and jazzy featuring female vocals and piano
14) *Remix of track 2 by People Under the Stairs. These hip-hoppers update the sound by adding heavier drums.
