Not to start another "what is soul" type discussion but I don't see 1999 as a funk song at all. When I think funk, I think early Commodores stuff like "Machine Gun" or "Slippery When It's Wet" and Herbie Hancock's "Man-Child" album. A good funk song will have a distinctive bassline which 1999 does not. 1999 is more a pop/new wave song thank anything else. Reunion Radio Podcast - 4 Decades of R&B

I was quite surprised too, I would never have thought of 1999 as a straight funk workout either, although it's got a touch of funk. My favorite funk acts would be something like this: 1. Parliament/ Funkadelic 2. Zapp (Roger Troutman) 3. Cameo 4. Prince/ The Time 5. Bootsy Collins 6. James Brown Funk on, brothers, funk on!  | |

ANYTHING from SLY, would be just! I mean, How in the Hell can one person DEEPLY influence : JIMI HENDRIX Not to correct you but Sly didn't influence Hendrix, they were both making music at the same time. Hendrix was blues influenced, especially by Muddy Waters. Now if you said what did Acid influence, then we could throw Sly & Hendrix in the same boat. Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your lips are moving. | |

>>>Not to correct you but Sly didn't influence Hendrix<<< It's all love bro. But,remember: Just because U come up 'Round the same time... Doesn't mean you can't or WILL NOT be influenced by your Peers ! Check band of Gypyies : "We Gotta live together" ( Jimi's openly givin' props to Sly ) by runnin'down Sly's "Sing-a-Simple Song" Maybe "DEEPLY" was harsh for Jimi & Miles but the rest of them kats...? I Dunno, bro! btw...Stevie LOVES "Keith Jarrett" ( but you would never hear it from stevie's "MasterBlaster" lol Great points! I forgot about "We've got to live together" on that Live at the Filmore. So cool. It is all love Bro, you are cool. Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your lips are moving. | |

He must´ve loved the sound tho´ since he invited Greg Errico & Larry Graham 2 play with him. At that time the Family Stone had an agreement with Sly not 2 play with anybody else but him. /peace Manki | |

I like: Parliament: Mother ship connection Co-sign, but I'd also have to add Sly and The Family Stone's "There's A Riot Goin' On!" | |
