About this episode

This episode celebrates the foundational funk classics that have influenced generations of artists.

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine celebrates the foundations—those undeniable funk classics that everyone knows, loves, and that opened the door for generations of artists to come. From Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft" and Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" to James Brown's relentless groove commands and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," these are the tracks that defined what funk could be and set the standard for everything that followed. It's two hours of essential listening—the kind of music that doesn't need an introduction because it's already written into the DNA of anyone who's ever felt the groove.
