100 Hits (Demon Music Group)
More 80's 100 Hits is a five-disc, budget-priced box set from U.K.-based Demon Music Group features 100 hits from pop music's most diverse, maligned/celebrated decade. International hits like "Come on Eileen" (Dexys Midnight Runners), "Shout" (Tears for Fears), "Pass the Dutchie" (Musical Youth) and "My Prerogative" (Bobby Brown) are abundant, but it's the UK-centric singles like "Da Da Da" (Trio), "Eloise" (Damned) and "Reward" (Teardrop Explodes) that set this collection apart from its' brothers and sisters.
100 Hits (Demon Music Group)
Brown's 1965 classic, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," became one of the first funk hits, and has been endlessly sampled and covered over the years, along with his other groovy tracks. Of course, many other funk acts followed in the '60s, and the genre thrived in the '70s and '80s as the disco craze came and went, and the originators of hip-hop and house music created new music from funk and disco's strong, flexible bones built for dancing.
Franc Moody's bio fittingly describes their music as "a soul funk and cosmic disco sound." The London outfit was birthed by friends Ned Franc and Jon Moody in the early 2010s, when they were living together and throwing parties in North London's warehouse scene. In 2017, the group grew to six members, including singer and multi-instrumentalist Amber-Simone. 041b061a72
