ANYTHING from SLY, would be just!
( "Loose Booty" always comes to mind )

I mean,
How in the Hell can one person DEEPLY influence :
MILES DAVIS
JIMI HENDRIX
STEVIE WONDER
GEORGE CLINTON
PRINCE

And , Er'body else after them ?

*Damn*

Prince- 1999

Gang of Four - Entertainment!

The funkiest album by a post-punk band.

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings & Food

The funkiest art-damaged New Wave band. I would go with Remain in Light but that one ain't funky enough.

Isley Brothers - 3+3

Need I say more???

The Higsons - It's a Wonderful Life

The best white punk/funk band you've never heard of.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Freaky Styley & BloodSugarSexMagik

Their two best masterpieces, hands down. And their greatest examples of how white guys can get nasty too.

Rufus - Rufusized

One of the coolest funk records of the '70s

Ohio Players - Honey

Needs no introduction. And it's not just because of the album covers either, perv.

Parliament - Motor Booty is filled with funk.

The Rainbow Children (self explanitory)

Lucy Pearl (self titled)

Sons Of Soul - Tony Toni Tone

Tom Tom Club 1st album & Good Bad N Funky

Basement Jaxx - Rooty

Rick James - Street Songs

Sweat Band

Cameo - We All Know Who We Are / Secret Omen

those are sum off the head good 1's...I may b SIR NOZE but these ones made me dance!

Not to start another "what is soul" type discussion but I don't see 1999 as a funk song at all. When I think funk, I think early Commodores stuff like "Machine Gun" or "Slippery When It's Wet" and Herbie Hancock's "Man-Child" album. A good funk song will have a distinctive bassline which 1999 does not. 1999 is more a pop/new wave song thank anything else.

I was quite surprised too, I would never have thought of 1999 as a straight funk workout either, although it's got a touch of funk.

My favorite funk acts would be something like this:
1. Parliament/ Funkadelic
2. Zapp (Roger Troutman)
3. Cameo
4. Prince/ The Time
5. Bootsy Collins
6. James Brown

Funk on, brothers, funk on!

FalseSetto said:

Not to correct you but Sly didn't influence Hendrix, they were both making music at the same time. Hendrix was blues influenced, especially by Muddy Waters.

Now if you said what did Acid influence, then we could throw Sly & Hendrix in the same boat.

The Meters
The JB's (check out the anthology)
Zapp (my recent addition, thx funkaholic)
Herbie Hancock

Obviously then,

Prince
Sly & the family Stone
Stevie Wonder
James Brown

Any thing on the Pure Funk cd:

1. Brick House - The Commodores
2. Pick Up the Pieces - The Average White Band
3. Shining Star - Earth, Wind & Fire
4. Jungle Boogie - Kool & the Gang
5. Lady Marmalade - LaBelle
6. Mr. Big Stuff - Jean Knight
7. Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas
8. Car Wash - Rose Royce
9. Tell Me Something Good - Rufus & Chaka Khan
10. Superfly - Curtis Mayfield
11. Theme from Shaft - Isaac Hayes
12. Fire - The Ohio Players
13. Flash Light - Parliament
14. (Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again - L.T.D.
15. Good Times - Chic
16. Forget Me Nots - Patrice Rushen
17. Word Up! - Cameo
18. Early in the Morning - The Gap Band
19. Don't Stop the Music - Yarbrough & Peoples
20. Super Freak - Rick James

It's all love bro.

But,remember: Just because U come up 'Round the same time...

Check band of Gypyies : "We Gotta live together"
( Jimi's openly givin' props to Sly )
by runnin'down Sly's "Sing-a-Simple Song"

Maybe "DEEPLY" was harsh for Jimi & Miles
but the rest of them kats...?

I Dunno, bro!

( but you would never hear it from stevie's "MasterBlaster"

lol

He must´ve loved the sound tho´ since he invited
Greg Errico & Larry Graham 2 play with him.
At that time the Family Stone had an agreement with Sly
not 2 play with anybody else but him.

Co-sign, but I'd also have to add Sly and The Family Stone's "There's A Riot Goin' On!"

What is funk?

Did anyone mention the Brother's Johnson?
