LittleBLUECorvette said: Slave or Cameo, who you got?
What is Michael Jacksons funkiest record? What is your favorite James Brown cut? What type of material would Jimi Hendrix have unleashed around nthe mid-late 70's? Damn... I love Slave's first six albums, but uh, I'm on a Cameo binge right now. Listened to Ugly Ego, We All Know Who We Are, Cardiac Arrest and The Gold Collection today. Guess I'd have to say that, overall, Slave wins by a hair. If you mean Michael's solo recordings, then Off The Wall... it's got Louis Johnson on bass on a lot of the cuts 
Cold Sweat, The Payback and Sex Machine, off the top of my head  | |

Is Prince a funk artist? Do you prefer Bernie Worrell's horn arrangements or Fred Wesley's? P-Funk No. He is a rock/pop/r&b/funk hybrid
I'll have to think about that | |

Real funk died somewhere around 1983 or so. The last truly great funk artist was Rick James. Who is a artist you wished would have gotten more into funk? Prince Would you consider "Full Force" Funk Artist?
Haven't heard any of their stuff, or atleast I don't remember hearin' any. I checked allmusic.com and saw that their debut came out in 1985, so I guess it's safe to assume that they aren't a funk act 
Which of the "Star's" funked harder, Midnight or Atlantic?
Been listening to Midnight Star more than Atlantic Star, as of late, so Midnight Star is my answer. Who was the funkier bass player from forner kid/teen groups. Keni Burke of the Five Stairsteps, Jermine Jackson or Leon Sylvers? I dig Jermaine

Ohio Players favorite LP? Skin Tight, Fire & Honey
Which white boys funked harder, Tower of Power or Average White Band? AWB (or well... 'funked harder', might actually be Tower Of Power, but I prefer AWB ) | |

Barkays,cameo,confunkshun,ewf,ohio players,slave,parliament-funkadelic, commodores,etc. Those listed are probably the cream de la cream! Well, since I wasn't around when all these bands were at their peak, I'm kind of a poor judge. Parliament put on sa helluva live show though, so Imma go with them. | |
