Off the top of my head
Holy Ghost - Barkays
One Nation Under a groove - Funkadelic
Soul Army - Cameo
Slide - Slave
Love Rollercoaster- Ohio Players
Let it Whip - Dazz Band
Chase Me- Confunkshun
Flashlight - Parliament
Move Your Boogie Body - Barkays
Ghetto Life - Rick James
Square Biz - Teena Marie
The Payback - James Brown
Flirt - Cameo
Ms Got the Body - Confunkshun
She Talks to me with her body - Barkays
Jungle Boogie - Kool & the Gang
Lovergirl - Teena Marie
Jungle love - The time
Sexy Dancer - Prince
Early in the Morning - Gap Band

Songs in no particular order with the lone exception of the
barkays holy ghost being the funkiest song of all time followed by
one nation under a groove from funkadelic being a close second.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint
