Old to the new: Curtis' raw soul shines behind Kanye's "Touch the Sky" (plus check out Kanye's new single "Can't Tell Me Nothing"). WEFUNK connects the dots from Busta's "New York Shit" to Diamond D's "I Went for Mine" all the way back to the original "Faded Lady" by S.S.O. Plus Jamaican funk from The Equals and (the other) James Brown, and more funk jewels from Charles Whitehead, Rufus, Labi Siffre and Funkadelic.
