Led by former Stevie Wonder drummer Hamilton Bohannon, Bohannon was one of the leading disco/funk bands of the mid-'70s. Many of their dance club classics and all of their biggest hits are included on the 14-track Very Best of Bohannon, which was compiled by Bohannon himself. It is the most thorough retrospective of the band ever assembled and it's likely there will never be a collection as thorough as this. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
