Hi Jazzuci, couldn't agree more!! Glad this old post is still getting some attention!

I seem to like a lot of groups that did BOTH.. like Detroit's One Way, great underrated band right there!

For me:
Disco is Relight my Fire, It’s raining men,
Funk is e.g the late James Brown, Parliament. The Meters
and EWF.
Disco is Rose Royce, Anita Ward.
Disco is violins, funk is horns.
