Play That Funky Music

Play That Funky Music 

A vibrant collection of classic funk, soul, and disco favourites, bringing together some of the most iconic dancefloor grooves and smooth ballads of the 1970s. Packed with timeless hits and rich orchestral soul arrangements, the compilation perfectly captures the energy, romance, and sophistication of the golden era of Philadelphia soul and classic American R&B.

Featuring legendary artists including Wild Cherry, The O'Jays, Lou Rawls, and The Trammps, the album moves effortlessly between upbeat funk anthems and heartfelt slow jams. The title track Play That Funky Music remains one of the defining crossover funk hits of the decade, while Love Train and T.S.O.P. showcase the lush production and infectious grooves that made the Philadelphia International sound so influential.

Elsewhere, tracks such as Me & Mrs Jones and Lovin’ You provide beautifully soulful contrasts, balancing the collection’s dancefloor energy with warmth and emotional depth. Whether enjoyed as a nostalgic trip through classic soul radio or as an introduction to essential 70s grooves, Play That Funky Music delivers timeless feel-good listening throughout.
