      Heavy Funk standard from Ripple that became a main influence to artists such as Kid N'Play, Mary J. Blige, Special Ed, X-Clan, La Bouche, among others. Make no mistake, this seven inch is a Top-Of-The-Notch kind of record, if you have the chance to find it don't miss this precious piece of music history.
      'I Don't Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky' ended up on important compilations such as 70's Funk 'n' Soul, Stone Cold Funk, Funk Soul Brothers, Jazzie B Presents Soul II Soul At The Africa Centre, The Original Rare Groove Selection, just to mention some.
