Does anybody dig The Meters around here? My favourite funk tracks would have to include:
Cissy Strut / The Meters
Cardova / The Meters
Hand-Clapping Song / The Meters
Can You Get to That? / Funkadelic
Stand / Sly & The Family Stone
Sing a Simple Song / Sly & The Family Stone
Running Away / Sly & The Family Stone
My favourite Soul songs are a bit trickier
Chain of Fools / Aretha Franklin
Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay / Otis Redding
Its Groovin' Time / Otis Redding
What's Goin' On / Marvin Gaye
Inner City Blue / Marvin Gaye
Get Down / Curtis Mayfield
Little Child Runnin' Wild / Curtis Mayfield
La La La La La La Means I Love You / The Delfonics
Personally I think there's often a lot of overlap between funk and soul. A lot of music that isn't strictly funk can be extremely funky.
