Rich in raw, gritty, from-the-heart grooves, the influence of James Brown is strong, yet the tracks are distinctly Bobby. Oozing style and substance, the album is full of fiery horn sections, strutting guitars and infectious basslines tracked by plenty of prime breakbeats. Front to back stacked with highlights, cuts from the album have been famously sampled by DJ Shadow, Coldcut, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor years Funky Super Fly has been a funk aficionado favourite. It's a sensational set of recordings from vocalist and bandleader Bobby Williams, with plenty of cherished raw-funk heaters in the mix. 'Funky Superfly', 'Soul Brother Party', and 'Let's Jam', are three standouts that have all the ingredients to ignite even the most subdued of dancefloors. The unprocessed natural energy in these songs speaks to your very soul - Bobby grooving over his captivating funk-fuelled band with dynamism and class. Both 'Funky Superfly' and 'Soul Brother Party' appear on the album as one continuous track, whereas on the 7\" versions they were cut into parts 1 \u0026amp; 2. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlongside the uptempo dancers on the album, Bobby goes deep on the soul ballad 'Morning Of Love', which simmers with intensity and heartache. The album's closing instrumental track, 'Fair Trade,' has a wah-wah guitar-driven Blaxploitation film soundtrack sensibility, and is a slept-on gem off the album nestled amongst the big hitters. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe use of Bobby's music has been sampled decades later, immortalising him for a new audience of record collectors and sample hunters. The pulsating title track 'Funky Superfly' was used as a sample source for DJ Shadow's 'The Number Song' off his iconic Endtroducing... album in 1996. In addition, 'Soul Brother Party' was used a year later on Coldcut's fantastic 'More Beats \u0026amp; Pieces' album. This turned a whole new audience onto the magnetism of Bobby Williams' music and added to the frenzy of hungry DJs in the '90s looking to unearth obscure funk 45s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFunky Super Fly is for those who like their funk and soul at it's purest. It's no-nonsense, electrifying and one of the jewels of '70s funk, perfect for fans of James Brown and Charles Bradley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eTRACKS:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e Funky Superfly (Part 1 \u0026amp; 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e Morning of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Let's Jam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Teach Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Soul Brother Party (Part 1 \u0026amp; 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Get Into It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Make Yourself Funky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Fair Trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will shipping take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte__table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is In Stock\/Inbound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Pre-Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem is on Backorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship within 1 day of being available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship near or on release date, as they are checked in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrders will ship as they become available, and can often take about 2-12 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bobby Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48057549029534,"sku":"5024017007499","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/8321\/8590\/files\/image_34628f00-9888-4d9f-a9c9-40a5291cd2e0.jpg?v=1785276969","url":"https:\/\/soundslikevinyl.com\/products\/observation-room-superstructure-vinyl-lp-copy","provider":"SoundsLikeVinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
