100MPH said: Najee said: I would disagree, since a lot of rap's energy and core sound came from funk music. A look at Mary J. Blige's catalog and she has quite a few jams among her songs. Yeah , there were sampled songs in her work like "All Night Long" from The Mary Jane Girls , another one from the Rick James camp done in "Love Is All We Need" masterfully produced by Jam & Lewis , the poppin' bass in "Be Happy" sounds also like a sampled one , and a few slow jams like "My Life" includes "My Life In The Sunshine" from Roy Ayers + one track used Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness" . Some of those tracks are done great on her live-cd from somewhere in the mid to late 90's ( Audrey Wheeler who was from former dancefunkgroup Unlimited Touch , leadsinger on Jeff Lorber's "Step By Step" and who is Will Downing's wife btw , joined as 1 of the background-vocalists ) That live-album is actually the only cd i have from her because of the powerfull band performing on it . A later song she recorded which i dig for the funky vibe in it is "Dance With Me" + the mellower "All That I Can Say" . In her other slowjams which i've heard so far i don't feel that much funk . . . . [Edited 9/5/06 12:31pm] That's from Curtis Mayfield's 'You're So Good To Me'

Hey, Y'all can't forget Patrice Rushen. "Remind Me" "Haven't You Heard?" And the FUNK Classic, "Forget Me Nots" Puts her near the top of the list. | |

Lynn Collins, Meshell. and any of the chicks that hung out with P-Funk.
Overall, woman and FUNK don't mix. | |

Harlepolis said: The cd-version of that particular 1985-album is MEGA MEGA RARE! A buddy of mine who's a serious collector of rarities once bought it for an astronomical price on Ebay .  
In 1980, Taka re-united with Norman Whitfield. Whitfield asked her to participate in his Dream Machine project, which was a self-contained group "Brother Whit" assembled and got signed with RCA. Besides Taka, Dream Machine contained former Undisputed Truth members Joe Harris, Melvin Stewart, and Lloyd Williams, as well as Trey Stone, a sought-after session guitarist Whitfield had utilized on various recording projects before. The remaining members were James McKinney, Ron Artis and Pete Carr, all three excellent musicians, hand-picked by Whitfield. Dream Machine's first single, "Shakedown", was an instant club hit, but failed to reach the national charts. The subsequent album -which also contained the heavy-duty funky "Dream Machine", "Living Too High" and "The Force"- was for some reason neglected and eventually Dream Machine were dropped from RCA. Whitfield continued to request Taka's services and among other things, she sang backgrounds on the female duo Stargard's splendid "Back 2 Back" LP in 1982 and even though she wasn't credited for it, did the vocal arrangements for Rose Royce's "Still In Love", taken from their 1982-LP "Stronger Than Ever".
