Funk I believe.

I'd classify his music as R n B too.

Both. You listen to 'Live at the Apollo' and tell me that's funk. It was soul up to the lates 60's at least.

and whoever said Clinton, he was P-Funk. That be the pure/psychedelic/parliament funk. different thing bay-beh

He started off with some great soul numbers, and kept the soul element throughout, but too much of his work is so damn funky I can't choose otherwise.

Also, everyone should listen to the album The Payback if they haven't yet. Some of the best "background music" (in a good way) ever, and one of the ultimate documents as far as superb groove-work.
