Plus Donny had "sodier of love" plus a few others.....I like the drums. Anyone say Bros "i owe u nothing"? Not that funky really, but still, a good dance song! | |

Is it fair to call them a "white band"? Emilio Castillo is hispanic and haven't a good number of their singers and various other musicians been black? | |

True, but then, by that crieria, Average White Band couldn't be listed (because of Steve Ferrone), the Doobie Brothers (because of Tiran Porter and Cornelius Bumpus) Level 42 (because of Mike Lindup and Wally Badarou) Jamiriquai,,etc... ...

Conversely Sly And the Family Stone had Jerry Martini and Greg Errico (I'm sure there are examples in other bands as well). | |

The J is one of my favorite groups, but you're gonna get a battle over this one. Many orgers are going to say they don't make funk music. Since Zender left the band, I'd say those naysayers have a good argument, tho I love those albums. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I'd be tempted to add Lewis Taylor to the list.
I don't have much Jeff Buckley other than Grace, but I bet he coulda made a mean funk record assuming he hadn't done one before his passing. [Edited 1/21/05 16:01pm] Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
