Ohio Players-Skin Tight. (my personal favorite, not taking anything from 'Fire' & 'Love Rollercoaster'). YouTube - Ohio Players- Skin Tight

Average White Band-Cut The Cake. (AWB showed that they could Funk with the best of them)

YouTube - Average White Band - Cut The Cake (live)

Brothers Johnson-Get The Funk Outta Ma Face. (one of the best on bass guitar)

YouTube - The Brothers Johnson Get Da Funk Out Ma' Face

Ohio Players-Sweet Sticky Thing. (the ohio players were very jazz orientated, sweet sticky thing is my #1 favorite, the ohio players style of music closely resembles the jazz style of steely dan).

LIVIN' IN THE LIFE - THE ISLEY BROTHERS (1977)
(the history of the Isely's go way back to the early 60s minus, the Isley Brothers, & others, produced some of the best Soul & Funk music of the 70s).

junior wells, shake it baby, great r&b dancer, great to here when your at a mod/soul night, when it's slid in between a few soul numbers, the mood on the dance floor shakes, a good dj knows when to change the vibe...




junior wells, stomach ache, same as above, great r&b dancer, a mod cub classic....

mitch ryder, cc rider, r&b from detroit, with a little garage rock'n roll through in to the mix, one of my favourite 60t's groups, they had great energy, you fell it pumping right through your veins...

ramsey lewis, hey mrs jones, great slab of r&b, witha tinge of boogaloo, latin soul, for the uninitiated...

The Ramsey Lewis trio were top notch musicians.
Favourite Ramsey Lewis effort was their take on the traditional 'race music' standard, Wade in the Water (instr).
