Rare Groove

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rare groove is an umbrella term that refers to relatively obscure funk and soul tracks from the 1970s. Originally coined by Kiss FM DJ Norman Jay in 1985 through his show The Original Rare Groove Show, 'rare groove' tracks have been influential on the musical genres of hip hop, techno, house, breakbeat, jungle and others.

In the past few years, I have become increasingly enamored by rare groove tracks. No amount of my praising "the sound" can make you understand it's influence on modern music.
if you find that you are feeling these tracks please visit the places that promote the sound and keep the information available.
