{"title":"The Electric Express","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Electric Express is a relatively obscure funk and soul band that emerged during the early 1970s. Known for their instrumental prowess, the group's music is characterized by its rhythmic complexity, syncopated basslines, and brass-heavy arrangements. Their most notable work is the single \"It's the Real Thing,\" which has been widely sampled in hip hop. Despite their limited commercial success, The Electric Express's distinctive sound has had a lasting influence on the development of funk music and its intersection with other genres.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"its-the-real-thing-pt-i-pt-ii-1","title":"It's the Real Thing - Pt.
