Description:
A landmark collaboration between Rickey Calloway and The Dap-Kings (the Brooklyn-based powerhouse behind Sharon Jones), “Stay In The Groove” is pure deep funk perfection. Part 1 delivers Calloway’s commanding vocal over tight, horn-heavy funk, while Part 2 opens up the rhythm section into an extended instrumental jam. The Dap-Kings’ unmistakable rhythm section gives the track that vintage analog authenticity associated with early ’70s soul, while Calloway’s vocals burn with James Brown-style fire.

This single became a modern funk classic, championed by DJ Keb Darge, Snowboy, and the deep funk revival circuit. It’s been remixed and sampled in contemporary funk and Hip-Hop, reflecting the seamless link between vintage soul energy and modern production fidelity. The record stands as one of the defining moments of the early 2000s neo-funk movement led by Daptone Records.
