Considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of funk, The Meters created a unique sound that blended funk, blues, and dance grooves with a New Orleans vibe. Formed in 1965 by keyboardist & vocalist Art Neville, bassist George Porter Jr., drummer Joseph 'Zigaboo' Modeliste, and guitarist Leo Nocentelli, they became the house band for Allen Toussaint and his record label. With major R&B chart hits like "Sophisticated Cissy" and "Cissy Strut", The Meters gained recognition in 1969. After disbanding in 1979 due to business problems, they reformed in 1989 and continued performing as The Funky Meters.

Funk masters The Meters influenced many groups in Soul music, with their as-tight-as-a-metronome grooves, exciting interplay and infectious vocal group shouts. The band released Rejuvenation in 1974, their best album to date. The crystal clear production was an improvement on the band's earlier works, maintaining their stripped down song structures and impeccable interlocked grooves while still leaving space for inspired jamming. Contains the hits "Just Kissed My Baby", "People Say" and "Hey Pocky-A-Way". The latter two songs are included as bonus tracks in their Single Version edits.
