This year we’re going to focus on the group Con Funk Shun. They are one of my all-time favorite funk bands from back in the day. Now, while they could pump it up and funk it out as good as any group back then, they also had great harmony and could belt out some beautiful love ballads. As a matter of fact, I think their ballads and mellow tunes get overlooked quite often when folks talk about the best love songs ever made. We hope to change that with this collection songs.

If you are familiar with Con Funk Shun, you know that the group consisted of:

…and you’ll also recognize the beautiful ballads:

  • "(Let Me Put) Love on Your Mind"
  • "By Your Side"
  • "Straight From The Heart"
  • "Baby I’m Hooked (Right into Your Love)"

  • "Love’s Train”

    You will hear all of those and many more. As a matter of fact, unlike a lot of groups, Con Funk Shun would also pop in a melodic instrumental cut, just like the song “Seascape” that starts off the mix

    OK, it’s time for the music. It’s time for LOVE. This is a Cupid’s Hunt Podcast mix. Enjoy!
