Red face Albums to start collections?

Hello all,
This seems like the ideal place to post this. The boyfriend wishes to have some sweet funk to add to his collection, which consists of.. nothing at this point. Since his birthday is coming up this weekend, I think it would be good to start him off right.

Anyone have any suggestions that are MUST HAVES for any funk collection?
I was thinking of 3-5 cds..

Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Cymande - Cymande
The JBs - Food For Thought

James Brown - Star Time

That's a box set....and worth every penny

In the Jungle Groove is a real personal fave too.

Yea, that album is great. Especially 1990, with most of the song being a wonderful solo.
