The Big Ol' Box of '60s Soul has a little bit of everything: from James Brown to Maxine Brown, from Bar-Kays to Mar-Keys, from Sam & Dave to Bob & Earl -- and from "Gong Gong" to "Wack Wack" to "Oogum Boogum." With 144 songs spread over six CDs, it's guaranteed to put your backfield in motion, shake your tail feather, and get right down to your real nitty gritty.
