Description:

Released on Atco Records in 1968, “Funky Street” finds Arthur Conley in top form — a high-energy, horn-driven soul number bursting with Southern rhythm and swagger. Produced by Otis Redding, the song captures the gritty Stax/Atlantic sound that was defining late-’60s funk-infused soul.

Its tight drum groove and brass flourishes made “Funky Street” a favorite among DJs and beat-diggers, later sampled by DJ Shadow on “Lesson 4” (1991), who used snippets of the vocal chant and rhythm section in his early sample collages. The record’s infectious funk pulse bridges the gap between raw R&B and the rhythmic DNA of hip-hop.
