here it is in all its scratchy glory:

Chula Vista

David Bowie nailed funk.

I'm pinky Nougah! Thats what I think of when I hear that song from David Bowie

Funkmaster Red

You sho got that right man he dose keep it alive which reminded me. Yall know who else got the FUNK these days or at least a dose of it!?! Mark Ronson and that Bruno mars guy with "Up town funk". When I fist watched the music video I said to myself "FunK in the 2010's that's ironic so gotta grab me a sack of chronic" Kinda surprised new generation kids even like this song as much as they do. Not that they would even know a damn thing about the FunK from the past. Though as a Funkateer I actually have to say this one track did capture some magic of the FunK from the mid 80's. Thought I find it to be a good jam but a little repetitive. Lastly am I the only one who sees mark ronson and bruno mars as the modern version of Mic Murphy & David Frank (The System)?

wayy off 1977 - 1983 imo, the more electronic stuff from that time has a special place, but if you're really talking the golden age, it has to be the late 1960's to early 1970's. That much more raw instrumental sound is always a winner, especially when lyrics were more politically charged.

I agree, IMO without a doubt very late 60s into the mid 70s. Nothing can beat P-Funk and Sly, War, Mayfield, etc.
