Dennis Coffey (born in Detroit, Michigan) is an American guitarist, notable as a prominent studio musician for many soul and R&B recordings.

In the early 70’s as Motown ‘Funk Brother’ and super-session guitar man, Dennis Coffey seemed determined to write soundtracks – even if he wasn’t commissioned by a Hollywood studio at that time. The four studio albums he cut for the Sussex label between 1971 and 1974, from which this compilation is culled, are like a big personal advertisement for potential film score work. Coffey’s raw, compressed guitar style – his big city breakbeat funk - certainly evokes a tough, urban landscape inhabited by tough, urban gangsters.
