Can u guys please help me out? I'm trying to compile a list of George Dunk funk songs.

The only ones that I know well are:

Dukey Stick

Reach for it.......

I know he has way more than that. I was trying to go thru his catalogue but most of that is jazz type songs that I don't really care for.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I want you for myself (from 1979s Master of the game)

Watch Out Baby (also on the Reach for It album)

Funkin for the Thrill and Pluck (from Follow the Rainbow)

Pluck is one of my Duke faves.

I'm sure I am.......but any jazz I listen to has to have some funk element to it.

Not sure if it meets the definition of funk, but his song T Jam is fantastic. T Jam was the theme song for Tavis Smiley's radio show on NPR several years ago.

FunkNroll, baby!

Also, George Duke and Stanley Clarke produced, arranged, and played on this track, back in '78:

I Am For Real (May The Funk Be With You)

From his 1977 album From Me To You is my favorite Duke funky instrumental 'Scuse Me Miss

Was unfamiliar with Is Love Enough. That is a hidden gem of funk. Thanks for that.

Yep, that's my favorite George Duke Jam. I don't know who that vocalist is on that song but she can blow. She definitely needed to drop an album of her own. She doesn't exactly sound like them but she's to me vocally like a Deniece Williams, Syretta, Anita Ward & Renee Diggs.

Lynn Davis

Actually, I also remember this being played a lot on Funk stations when I was growing up:

...

George Duke - Movin On

.....

...and this was a big Dance hit....

George Duke - Shine On

....

Some of this stuff is R&B but no matter.

Thanks again.
