I was so limited on my funk before this forum but a few members, Jackhammer in particular, has turned me on to some real groovin' tunes.

Let's Groove by the Kay Gees is pretty FUNKY if I do say so myself. No matter where I'm at when I listen to this on my ipod I can't help but bust a few moves.

I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings is my next choice. Gavin B. posted the video to this song in my journal and I played it over so many times. I love the soul train dancing they do with it. I would kill to be able to dance in the soul train.

My third favorite never fails to make me smile.
Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman) by Joe Tex is such a treat. Joe Tex just cracks me up, I love to sing along with this one. Never fails to get me in a good mood.

Oh, I didn't include my choice soul songs

Favorite easily: Let's Stay Together by Al Green (I have a soft spot for Al Green) I remember Jackhammer said his voice was like sex on a stick, and I second that.

Just the Two Of Us by Grover Washington and Bill Withers
I blare this one in my car pretty regularly, and I don't care who knows it. If I'm not mistaken, Just The Two Of Us won a grammy.

And Like a lot of people, I enjoy What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

I adore this song with it's sweet reggae influenced rhythm:

Absolutely brilliant version of the song:


Has anyone got this? I'm desperate for a copy of it.

sly and the family stone, searchin' some early r&b from brilliant physc/soul funkateers....

**** & the blazers, funky broadway, great raw funk...

betty barney, momma momma, more gritty funk, man what a voice, and backed by the brilliant pazant bro's...

cracking instrumental of agent double oo soul, courtesy of the funk bro's!!!

phyllis dillon, make me yours, the queen of jamican soul, doing the bettye swann song some justice....






hey stoney face, mary love, a song that she sang at the 100 club anniversary...

bobby paterson, this whole funky world is a ghetto, truely great soul/funk singer, yes this southern brotha! deserved more recognition...


king coleman, hang it up, oh my god, what a tune, power house soul/r&b, this dosn't get you dancin' your toast!!!

etta james, in the basement, first heard this tune in the movie hurricane, with densil washington a few years back, it took me a years to find out who was singing it.

sugar pie desanto, go go power, there's a great cd of her on the kent label, well worth it if you like soul with an r&b edge,.
