please just consider those 3 songs from his earlier days - not his whole catalogue.

If I can only choose out of those 3 then I'd say 'Head'.

It's not 'funky', it's 'the funk'.

Sexy Dancer.

I don't think Prince is all that funky, honestly. Maybe if I was a newbie again...

Head. Both musically and lyrically, it's that kind of dirty, nasty funk I love.

Out of those three Controversy with Head as a close second. Other really funky songs are Let's Work, Lady Cab Driver, Hide The Bone and Family Name to name what spontaneously comes to mind.

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

Controversy. 2 seconds of the intro and you dance.

Why those songs?

I see many here don't seem to understand what funky is?

Funky is when you uncontrolably start to move to the music....without even being aware.

Like a head bop.

Funky is when you get the sudden urg to have some chicken...

Funky is when youstart to get this nasty look on one side of your face...and it scares people.

None of these songs do that.

Now put on DMSR, and try not to bob your head. And when you do....you know your listening to FUNKY! There are others, but DMSR to this day, gets my head boping!
