For 14 years, DJ Soul Sister has been manning the boards Saturday nights between 8 and 10 p.m. at listener-supported WWOZ 90.7 FM in New Orleans. In fact, her program “Soul Power,” the country’s longest-running rare groove radio show, was the last to air before WWOZ signed off during Hurricane Katrina. On top of her radio gig, Soul Sister hosts three weekly "right-on party situations" that satisfy New Orleanian yearnings for underground disco, deep funk, boogaloo, soul, rare groove and more. With this mix, you can join her noble campaign to make your booty do its duty.1) "Handa Wanda" • The Wild Magnolias Mardi Gras Indians • They Call Us Wild (Sunny Side Records)2) "Do Whatcha Wanna" • Rebirth Brass Band • Do Whatcha Wanna (Mardi Gras Records)3) "Fire on the Bayou" • The Meters • Fire on the Bayou (Sundazed Music Inc.)4) "Stop, Pause" • DJ Jubilee • Jubilee All (Stop Pause) (Take Fo’ Records)5) "Buck Jump Time" • Gregory D & DJ Mannie Fresh • D Rules The Nation (Yo!
