Greetings all.

I hope everyone (at least those of you in the northeast) are riding the storm out, whether you’re soaked and windblown (like us here at the Jersey Shore) or buried under the snow like everyone to the north and west of us is.

I have something very special for you this (not so) fine day.

Last week – as has become something of a tradition every March 8th – I reposted the Funky16Corners Bold Soul Sisters mix for International Women’s Day. That mix, first posted back in 2006 is a longtime fave and packed from end to end with funky burners from the ladies.

As I reposted it last week it occurred to me that I ought to put together  sequel, and I set down to gather together the best funk and funky soul stuff that I had gathered in the eleven years since the first mix.

There was soo much groovy stuff, that I decided to to two new mixes (cleverly titled Bold Soul Sisters 2 & 3), one of straight up funk and one with the funk quotient dialed down a bit (but not too far).

I’ll be running Part 2 today, and Part 3 next week.

It is (with three exceptions) an all-45 mix, and aside from a couple of bigger names, I think you’ll find that a lot of this is probably new to you.

So dig in, pull down the ones and zeroes and – of course – get funky.

I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

   This looks interesting, Larry. I’m a big fan of Vol. 1, along with many of your earlier F16 Corners radio episodes, but to be honest I stopped downloading / listening to new ones years ago when you switched from including individual tracks to a single MP3 mix. The thing about F16C that I’ve loved over the years is that it’s turned me on to so many new (to me) artists, but with the mix MP3s I can’t easily tell who’s the artist on a given track.
