If you know of any, post the list in this thread.

I'll start it off with THIS funk classic by The Meters:


It's THE Funk in the most basic form. Granted, it isn't uptempo. But you can still shake your booty to it!

Sly & The Family Stone -- Thank You For Talking To Me Africa


THE Funk after smoking some .

It's weird all you American dudes seem to like the late 70s and early 80s faster, electro (disco influenced) funk, which is cool. but this is the stuff the Brits like the old raw proto-funk from the late 60s early 70s.

I'd say Mothership Connection (1975) changed the game forever though.


.....

S basically this thread is 60s and early 70s funk??

THIS track was in the 80's:


It isn't so much about the time period as much as it really is about a track that is funky even when it isn't uptempo.

Timmy84 said:

Great pick! THAT track has one of the best intros of all time.

TonyVanDam said:

TonyVanDam said:

OK I kinda cheated and put my own thread for it but I think this is what you call cool funk.

Fuck I have been after that Devils record for eeeeever!!!!! i know it goes for a cool 30 gazillion now

I don't know if this should qualify but since you said "synth-driven", but this was "drum-driven" (by Marvin nonetheless):



It DOES have synths though but HEY... this is not "uptempo" but it's a "booty-shaking" joint tho.

Timmy84 said:

That's fuggin uptempo.

I think he means...

Not classic - except at my house.

You know it's Fred Wesley and the J.B.'s, right? I played this record for Fred once and he almost fell out. He had forgotten all about it.

Don't be a Funk Nazi now ..
Just pick some jams without synths, add some horns and it'll all be good.

Cinnie said:

Scorpio was uptempo too.
