Help: I need the Funk tracks from George Duke

Can u guys please help me out? I'm trying to compile a list of George Dunk funk songs.

The only ones that I know well are:

Dukey Stick

Reach for it.......

I know he has way more than that. I was trying to go thru his catalogue but most of that is jazz type songs that I don't really care for.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Watch Out Baby (also on the Reach for It album)

Funkin for the Thrill and Pluck (from Follow the Rainbow)

Pluck is one of my Duke faves.

If you've got funk, you've got style.

I'm sure I am.......but any jazz I listen to has to have some funk element to it.

Not sure if it meets the definition of funk, but his song T Jam is fantastic. T Jam was the theme song for Tavis Smiley's radio show on NPR several years ago.

From his 1977 album From Me To You is my favorite Duke funky instrumental 'Scuse Me Miss

From his 1982 album Dream On is one of his funky hits Shine On with the great Louis Johnson on bass

Was unfamiliar with Is Love Enough. That is a hidden gem of funk. Thanks for that.

Yep, that's my favorite George Duke Jam. I don't know who that vocalist is on that song but she can blow. She definitely needed to drop an album of her own. She doesn't exactly sound like them but she's to me vocally like a Deniece Williams, Syretta, Anita Ward & Renee Diggs.

George Duke - Movin On


.....

...and this was a big Dance hit....

George Duke - Shine On
