I need funnk songs to add to my playlist. I already have the big stuff from James Brown, P-Funk, Sly, etc. and these are the songs but no j.b.'s, ohio players, maceo and the macks, etc. I need to know what I need from these groups as well as mandrill, dyke ^& the blazers, etc. songs that itunes carry though.

This is what I have so far on my ipod as far as the funnk albums & songs go:

1)Funkadelic:

-Cosmic Slop

-Let's Take it to the Stage

2)Incredible bongo Band(not funk really but I dig their polyrhythms & put it under funk anyhow):

3)James brown:

-Songs

The boss, Let yourself go, hot, lickin stick, papa's gotta brand new bag(full & short version), my thang, I got a bag of my own, cold sweat, I can't stand myself, get on the good foot(short version), get up, get into it, get involved, soul power 1&2, funky president, I got you(I feel Good) released version, Get up Sex Machine, I got that feelin, mother popcorn, gie it up or turnit loose, make it funky, papa don't take no mess, the payback, say it loud(black and proud), superbad, hot pants, get up offa that thing.

4)Sly Stone(&Co.):

-fresh

-There's a riot goin on

-Life

A whole New thing

5)Stevie Wonder:

12) Curtis Mayfield:

13) kool & the Gang

14) Miscellanous songs

-Cutie Pie, some stuff from the Dap band, etc.

Have a listen to 'The Average White Band'. They're Scottish. No, REALLY

Some of their songs are funkier than others. But the snippets on iTunes will give you a good indication.

Enjoy,

Do you mean songs or whole albums?

From AWB, you need at least Cut The Cake and School Boy Crush.

Marvin Gaye "Got to Give it Up"

I like that song

Agreed, plus Soul Mine. Perhaps the most perfect funk ever recorded.

I like that song

But make sure you find the 11-minute version, it's on his Live at the London Palladium album @ Sandino.

you need Parliament albums: Funkentelechy, Motor booty affair, Clones of dr funkenstein, Mothership connection. or the 2cd compilation Gold

I actually have the 4 minute version currently trying to find the 11 minute one. Timmy do you know where I could find the 10 minute and/or 12 minute version of James brown/Jbs "Doing it to Death"

That might possibly be my favorite funk song ever(Don't know how many times I've said that about previous songs. God I love funk:lol: )
