excuse me, but where is funk without "The Payback" (JB), that is the MEANING of Funk.

paisleypark4 said:

like i said man...with Funk,im learnin slowly


i will be SURE 2 check that one out

to joshy84au:
i'm with pp4, if you're unfamiliar with james brown's back catalog, go buy the "star time" box set. james brown pretty much invented funk. he was the miles davis for funk musicians, in that maceo, bootsy and a host of others trained in his great bands. any quality complilation of funk will start with jb.

Great topic maybe, yet delivered by the hands of Sir Nose Devoidofunk.

i started this 2 actually help me get a hold of some great stuff.
im not a total funk fool...i just dont have/am familliar with everything like many of u may be.

medoc2003: i know who james brown is,i aint that silly

i have JB's Sexmachine: very best of JamesBrown cd.
if i could afford the boxset i would have it.

to joshy84au:
cool, i just didn't see any jb in the initial post of your comp. disc.

Side 1

Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On
Cameo - Candy
Sly And The Family Stone - Dance to the Music Medley
Kool And The Gang - Hollywood Swinging
Prince - It

Side 2

James Brown - Give It Up And Turn It Loose
Sheila E and Prince - A Love Bizarre
Parliament - Ride On
Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman
George Clinton - Atomic Dog

Sly Stone- In Time
James Brown- Poppa's gotta Brand New Bag
James Brown- Cold Sweat
James Brown/Maceo & The Macs-'Cross the Tracks
Maceo Parker- Off the Hook
Funkadelic - One Nation Under A groove
Parliament/Funkadelic - Flashlight
Prince- Family Name
Prince- Pretty Man
Rufus/Chaka Khan -Tell Me Something Good
Stevie Wonder-Higher Ground
Stevie Wonder- Superstition...
but I agree that most early JB is not only where it all began but still reigns funky today along with the vast majority of Parliament stuff, and like jazz has anyone ever seen 2 definations of funk that are even similar???...
