What Is It is the 1971 debut from S.O.U.L., the Ohio funk band whose name stood for Sounds Of Unity and Love. Formed in 1970 around bassist-singer Lee Lovett, the group balanced hard-hitting originals with inventive covers of Motown and soul staples like "Get Ready," "Express Yourself," and Herbie Mann's "Memphis Underground." Its standout is "Burning Spear," a drum-and-flute showcase later sampled by Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Rob Swift, and Organized Konfusion. A deep-funk grail reissued by Diggers Factory.
