I don't know if I'm voting fairly by voting these off because I've never heard of these four groups but here goes:

Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band
Jimmy Castor Bunch
Mandrill
Meters

I guess my fifth vote will go to:

Joe Tex

You never heard of Mandrill Vainandy? I'm sure you've heard some of the jams they made, "HANG LOOSE", "FENCE WALK", and "SUZIE CEASER".


Also I'm sure you've heard Jimmy Castor Bunch's jam "WATCH ME NOW" It was one of the original records the B-Boys and Girls would break off of.

Doesn't ring a bell. If I have heard them, I probably would have to hear them again to recognize them.

"Bertha Butt Boogie" sounds a little bit familiar.

You sure do know your funk Ms. Legs....

Great, people are voting 5 artist off. I thought this would die out.

Yeah, it's going much better now but I still think you had too many groups listed. It would be much easier with about 10 or 15 and voting off one or two each round.

Come on yall,one more day.

Come on yall, this was supposed to be the last day to vote for the FUNK Survivor!: Round One, but I will let it go on until Sunday at midnight
