The Soul & Funk Music Recommendation Thread

I checked into some Blowfly, and while they're very funny, they just don't have the quality musicianship as the Mummies. Maybe I didn't find the right songs. *shrug* I did put Electronic Pussy Sucker in the mix for a CD I'm making though.

Wild Cherry has some quality stuff. They do rely a bit on the same formula as PTFMWB though.

I also grabbed some Parliament, Bootsy (really good stuff), and some Sly ATF Stone for the CD too. Went over well at the Shed. The Shed now has a Kenwood surround system, btw. The neighbors are not happy about this.

Is there anything else you can tell us about them?

That Funky single is from later in their career.
As fine as it is, you're better off starting with
The Time Has Come or just grab up any of the hits
collections that have the full 11-minute version
of Time Has Come Today. Listen to the drums.

Thanks Rosie, post is quite informative compared to the ones that just post youtube videos with nothing to say.

His stuff is hit or miss as far as the musicianship, but lyrical lines like "ridin' down the road, carryin' a load, feelin' more sexy than a pregnant toad" definitely tickle my musical funnybone!
