The Whatnauts Best of The Whatnauts

Genre: R&B/Soul. The sweet and soulful harmonies of the Whatnauts spanned a 15-year career in which they recorded three albums and numerous singles, ranging from timeless ballads to Temptations-esque politically-charged funk to dancefloor boogie. The music of the Baltimore based group, which featured the angelic falsetto lead of Billy Herndon, gained relevance for a younger generation via samples taken by the likes of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Kanye West. This 2LP set is a career compendium of their best slow jams, funk grooves and 12-inch club tracks, including multiple unreleased and rare sides.
