Hi all,

I thought I'd share with you a 70's funk playlist I compiled on Spotify.

More songs may be added and the order may be changed.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks for bringing that up. There actually is another piece I like from his 1971 album; "Thank You for Talkin' to Me, Africa". I'll see if I can include that somewhere in the playlist, and look into Sly's discography a bit more. Do you have any suggestions?

Ah yes, "Luv N' Haight" and "In Time" are a must! "Brave & Strong" and "Frisky" are also good. Both "Hot Fun" and "Don't Call Me Nigger" were released in '69 however.

Here's some old threads: Obscure #1, 2, 3, 4.

.

I think most of it is from the 1970s.


You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I don't like Loose Booty and haven't listened I Get High, but yes, i'm aware that those were hits back in the day.

Nice! I will check them out.


Temptations' "Up the Creek" is not bad. I would need a few more listens. I want to include "Funk n Roll"! However, Quazar's album is not on Spotify.

It also is unfortunate that Quazar's bandleader passed away prior to their album's release, thus making this their only album. neutral

I like "I Get High On You" better than "Loose Booty". Yet, those two tracks did not 'wow' me.

I ended up including "Luv N' Haight" and "Thank You for Talkin' to Me, Africa". I have yet to find a place for "In Time".

Well obviously I am gonna say there should be more P-Funk on the list. That being said I am still moving my ass off to these jams.

I have included a few more P-funk songs along with others that have a similar style. "Ridin' High" by Parlet is definitely a new favorite.

I will continue looking for more. Yet, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.
