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!

Soft-rock radio has ruined that track for me.
Whenever I hear "Brick House," the phrase listen-while-you-work enters my brain... ...This is The Commodores that I prefer:

Southern funk...

A little jazzy stank on da' funk... George Benson - On Broadway [live @ Jazz à Vienne 2011]:

Prince + Stevie Wonder + Yolanda Adams + India Arie, more Tribute To Chaka Khan [BET Awards]:

That's Awesome!! So much talent on that stage. I saw Chaka Khan once in the mid-80's in a little club, great show! Audi, this is a great thread, I discovered some great music here. Also, I love Prince the best when he gets funky, same with Red Hot Chili Peppers. I am HUGE Bonnie Raitt fan, Queen of the slide. Check out this song Bonnie wrote, its my favorite song she ever wrote...love the bass line and the lyrics. Bonnie had been dropped by her record label and was picked up by Capitol Records and won lots of Grammys when this hit. (nice revenge ) I think this song got a little lost on the CD because of the hits.

And, indeed, Bonnie is bad-ass! "Love Sneakin' Up On You" is my fave of all her big hits. "Love Letter" is another awesome one.

This one requires a little more headspace. It fuses The Beatles with Jimi Hendrix, Funkadelic and James Brown ..,oh, and a touch of black gospel: FISHBONE - EVERYDAY SUNSHINE (live Japan 1991):
re-posting this one...fixed a bad link.

Candy Dulfer & Funky Stuff - James Brown Medley (live, 1991):

crazy track right?
dude we used to take so much drugs and go see Phish, and I swear these guys funk grooves were like a freaking machine. I felt like I was on marsyou're the funk master though, I'm just posting white boy funk.
I've posted Phish here before, but check this out, Moma Dance:
this was back in like 97'. er, I mean this guy I know did that
Tre Anastasio is one of the funkiest men alive. Guitar god. you can just sit and follow his lead all day. The moment ends though I feel winds

I can't help it! I never knew who did this song before. Then I came across it on you tube. I think this is rather funky. My opinion. They had a song poison ivy very good too.
