Revisit a classic
The 1982 compilation Black Silk brought together the smoothest set of funk/soul songs in one place.
From The Manhattans' Kiss & Say Goodbye and Shining Star to Bill Wither's Ain't No Sunshine and Just The Two Of Us, Black Silk is perfect relaxation music.
Other highlights include The Isley Brothers' Summer Breeze and Billy Paul's Me And Mrs Jones, and you really can't go past the deep, deep tones of Lou Rawls on You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine and Lady Love.
