Would love to hear Jamiroquai do this one.

Earth Wind & Fire - Getaway (live, 199: (includes a great dueling bass-guitars solos)

Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street

Great version. So loose....yet, totally tight.

Yes Audi! My music library is seriously lacking some FUNK!
Here's one that EVERYONE knows and loves: Parliament -- Give Up The Funk (1976)
(an awesome live version) But here's something ya' might not know -- but is an essential amongst funk fans: The Gap Band - Oops Upside Your Head (1980)Love Parliment Flashlight the best. They always played them at the roller rink when I was young.

A really funky song.

I thought some of their music was very funky. Roller rink!
