Audio: Show us your favorite compilation album.

I've had to choose two, because one was far too difficult...

Various Artists

Don't let the title of this put you off - it has some killer tracks from artists such as James Brown, Bobby Womack, Sly & Family Stone and is just guaranteed to make you get up and wanna move. In fact, I thought I'd share one with you...

If You Want Me To Stay

Sly Stone

This is far more nostalgic and takes me back to heady days dancing round my bedroom, singing into a biro. Matthew Wilder, Matt Bianco, Cyndi Lauper... they're all on it. Fantastic

Now That's What I Call Music Vol 2

Vox Hunt: It Came From The 70's

Audio: It's 70's music Wednesday.

Across 110th Street

Bobby Womack

If I'm feeling a little "bleah!" (technical term, dontcha know?), then this track never fails to perk me up.

First heard it on a compilation album around 10 years ago and was hooked, instantly. Although this was originally used in a blaxploitation movie back in the 70s, most people know it from its use in Tarantino's Jackie Brown.

Sit back and enjoy!
