The five-volume In Yo' Face: The History of Funk series was a very welcomed thing when Rhino issued it in 1993 and remained a valuable source over a decade later, boasting one of the best documentations of '70s and early-'80s funk around -- even in the wake of dozens upon dozens of other like-minded sets.

The five-volume In Yo' Face: The History of Funk series was a very welcomed thing when Rhino issued it in 1993 and remained a valuable source over a decade later, boasting one of the best documentations of '70s and early-'80s funk around -- even in the wake of dozens upon dozens of other like-minded sets. That said, In Yo' Face does have its limitations. It's frustrating that the majority of the inclusions appear in three-to-four-minute radio edits (thus stripping some crucial dynamics); it's also a little odd that each disc sticks to a strict 15-track capacity; and crate-digging funk fans will notice that Rhino must've run into a few licensing roadblocks, since there are some significant holes. Regardless, these five discs have been invaluable to wedding DJs, party hosts, and newcomers alike. The second volume features a cast that is altogether more popular then the first, but some less-than-obvious picks are sprinkled throughout, providing a great cross between crossover hits and cult favorites. The highlights here include Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair," Rufus' "Tell Me Something Good," Maceo & the Macks' "Soul Power 74, Pt. 1," the Temptations' "Shakey Ground," and Parliament's "Chocolate City." ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
