Released in 1973 by founding member of The Last Poets, Jalal Nuriddin, under the name Lightnin' Rod

Beginning in 1968, Richie was a member of the Commodores. The Commodores became established as a popular soul group; their first several albums had a danceable, funky sound, as in such tracks as "Machine Gun" and "Brick House". Over time, Richie wrote and sang more romantic, easy-listening ballads such as "Easy", "Three Times a Lady", "Still", and the breakup ballad "Sail On". Richie launched a solo career in 1982 and his 1982 debut solo album, Lionel Richie, contained three hit singles: the U.S. number-one song "Truly", and the top five hits "You Are" and "My Love". The album hit No. 3 on the music charts and sold over four million copies. His 1983 follow-up album, Can't Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies, propelling him into the first rank of international superstars. He also co-wrote the 1985 charity single "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson, which sold over 20 million copies.

One of the great aspects of the "Imaginary Blaxploitation soundtrack" compilations is that the supply of quality tunes is absolutely endless. Today's demand for 70s funk tunes, whether they be from obscure names, or legends of the genre like Sly Stone or Maceo Parke, is stronger than ever among those in search of supple, meaty basslines, tight backbeats and crisp funk. Blaxplosion has all the aspects necessary to keep a funk lover fan happy for decades, with enough of the legendary and the less well-known for it to rival most of the other collections out there. Instead of going for the obvious choices, it seems that there's been some digging in the vaults to pull out some obscure funk nuggets. Okay, there's not much here that could rival "Superfly", but still, all of the songs on here are enough to drag even the most resistant punter onto the dancefloor, and are filled with the sort of funk that puts today's acts to shame. Of course there's a little bit of filler, and the repetition that is a natural part of funk may grow tiresome if you're just listening rather than shakin' your tailfeather, but it's hard to imagine anyone not wanting to break out the corduroy flares and groove on down to this bad-ass compilation. –Thom Allott
