This is a prototype tracklist of what you were likely to hear at a KOOL HERC party in the 70's, what makes this tracklisting so appealing is the fact that alot of these songs were largely IGNORED by the radio (WBLS) at that time...but they were very popular with the partygoers attending the street parties of Herc and the club sessions of Cheeba and Hollywood...and also a few of these you might memorize as being infamous samples used in today's modern day rap songs such as this one....
SEVEN MINUTES OF FUNK - YouTube
in my honest opinion if Herc had not took that sabattical following getting stabbed at one of his parties and had pursued an intrest in making tracks, he might have made a great career as a producer just based on his track selection talents..
