One other thing I've noticed & always loved about Funk's appeal.....

It's a quick rush.....it hits you FAST....

The first 5 seconds of:

Knee Deep
Slide
Fantastic Voyage
More Bounce
Head
Pick Up the Pieces
Thank You
Funky Drummer
Glide
Flashlight
Etc...

My hand actually feels "magnetically & immediately" pulled to the volume.....gotta have decibels IMMEDIATELY.
cool


Definitely my favorite funk song of all time. I think it is perfect.

Body Heat--James Brown..

And there's I can't remember the name of the dang song. It's by Sly and the Family Stone. I think it's Thank you for letting me be myself today????

And then there's this song by Prince...

What the hell is the name of it...

I can't remember.. sad

But those are just a few! lol

Thank you dog gonnit! lol

Head is one Prince song... There are so many.. Black Sweat is pretty funky, I think. shrug Let's see.. some of his old tunes are pretty funk.. Lady Cab Driver..

But there is this one.. oh man.. Imma gonna have to find it.

And I wanted to think of a Michael Jackson song out of respect. I really love that Got Me Working Day and Night, but I don't think it's a funk song.

Ok.. How about Give It Away by the Peppers?

And then I was thinking about George Clinton and George Duke?

And how about Brickhouse?

Hmm... I don't know about MJ's or the Peppers' songs. They're "funky" but I don't know if either epitomize funk, maybe MJ's to a lesser degree. Obviously Clinton's more funkier than Duke though "Dukey Stick" and "Reach for It" are up there in the funk department.

Oh and "Brickhouse" is definitely F.U.N.K.Y. cool

James Brown...



Mother Popcorn

Dayum! I don't believe I ever saw this clip of James Brown before. As famous as he was, and as parodied as he was, particularly in later life... JAMES BROWN WAS HOT! Look at this young man go! LOL. James Brown was on fire, lol.

yeahthat

do you do the lower or higher part? i love doing the lower part when i sing along and i love having the option. i also like n.w.a.'s "i'd rather fuck you"

regarding the funkiest song i'd say "aqua boogie" or "let's play house".
