The Whole Darn Family: The Whole Darn Family Has Arrived LP

The Whole Darn Family’s The Whole Darn Family Has Arrived is a deep funk and soul favorite built around tight grooves, rich harmonies, and the group’s unmistakable Virginia sound. Best known for the heavily sampled breakbeat classic “Seven Minutes of Funk,” the album blends dancefloor-ready funk, smooth soul, and gritty ensemble musicianship into a cult favorite among collectors, DJs, and hip-hop producers. Originally released in 1976, the record captures the warmth and swagger of independent ’70s soul with a loose, communal energy that lives up to the band’s name. It remains the group’s defining release and an essential listen for fans of sample-source funk and rare groove.
