Rich in \u003cstrong\u003eraw, gritty, from-the-heart grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e, the influence of \u003cstrong\u003eJames Brown is strong\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003efamously sampled by DJ Shadow, Coldcut, and more.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years Funky Super Fly has been a \u003cstrong\u003efunk aficionado favourite\u003c\/strong\u003e. It’s a sensational set of recordings from vocalist and bandleader Bobby Williams, with plenty of \u003cstrong\u003echerished raw-funk heaters\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003eunprocessed natural energy\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ein these songs speaks to your very soul \u003c\/strong\u003e– Bobby grooving over his captivating funk-fuelled band with dynamism and class.

The album's closing instrumental track, ‘Fair Trade,’ has a wah-wah guitar-driven \u003cstrong\u003eBlaxploitation film soundtrack\u003c\/strong\u003e sensibility, and is a slept-on gem off the album nestled amongst the big hitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of \u003cstrong\u003eBobby’s music has been sampled decades later\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003eDJ Shadow’s ‘The Number Song’\u003c\/strong\u003e off his iconic Endtroducing..... album in 1996. In addition, ‘Soul Brother Party’ was used a year later on \u003cstrong\u003eColdcut’s fantastic ‘More Beats \u0026amp; Pieces’ album\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunky Super Fly is for those who like their funk and soul at its purest. It’s \u003cstrong\u003eno-nonsense, electrifying and one of the jewels of ‘70s funk\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfect for fans of James Brown and Charles Bradley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a tip-on sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/70I9as5mOeQ?si=u-jOm4g8KqVeN23U\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9oUGZZM5A5g?si=bnyw3F0jEzE-wwzs\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cB-55qnugwo?si=4lW1fCY16GthhXX5\" height=\"315\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bobby Williams","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":45303334961222,"sku":"MRBLP347","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":45303334993990,"sku":"MRBCD347","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1720\/7981\/files\/MRBLP347BobbyWilliams_Shopify_Square.jpg?v=1783588066","url":"https:\/\/us.mrbongo.com\/products\/funky-super-fly-vinyl-lp-cd","provider":"Mr Bongo USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
