The Dazz band covered a lot of ground with their music.
Ranging styles and techniques.
They aren't my favorite but I might have to roll with them in this case. That's my attitude! | |

The two that compete most heavily for my affection (now and back in the day) are Cameo and Slave. Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

I've just let go of all of that, I don't care about records, about films, about being on television or all that stuff because in my eyes that's for people who don't know where they're going. ~ George Harrison | |

The Isley Brother were pretty funky as well. The Brothers Johnson also. Ignorance................is always biased. | |

"Best" would certainly be hard to choose. My favorite is definitely the Gap Band, though. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Ya know, in thinking about the OP's question....Dre correctly alludes to one glaring fact:
So much stank-ass funk has come from / through / or associated with O-H-I-O that it boggles the mind.

Damn I'm loving this thread. I know I always piss and moan about you guys moaning about today's music, but one thing is for sure, artists don't FUNK it up anymore. At least not in the mainstream. And someone told me about some foreign funk bands that I should check out, but I forgot who they were. If you're that person or know who they're referring to PLEASE PM me. I'm getting rather tired of Chris Brown and Adele.  Thanks! | |

Family Stone were one of the 1st major cross over acts. Meaning, because they merged genres and changed the whole music game, they aren't an all around funk band as that's too limiting for them. Sly may of eventually single handedly developed funk to what everybody that followed copied in the early 70's, but he mostly did it solo and, again, still crossed over and merged genres.
So, that said, i'd nominate Parliament/Funkadelics and agree with choice 1.
GAP band is also worth considering. Triple-jacked over a steeplehammer | |

That's why I only put them at 3. "Do Me, Baby...oh, oh, OOOOOOOOOOOH"
"Scandalous I'm talkin' bout u n me" "Insatiable's my name when it comes 2 u" "When 2 R N Love their bodies shiver at the mere contemplation of penetration" "Flesh against flesh, And God Created Woman" | |
