Late 60's and early 70's funk
 

Looking for some suggestions whether it be full albums or just 45's, instrumental of with singing. Just old school straight up funk. I'm really not into the mid-late 70's funk because it's too disco sounding and overproduced for my taste. Anything like JB, Parliament, Sly, Ohio Players etc. Here's some probably lesser known stuff I really like.

You really didn't need to spam 15 posts, one can post YouTube links right away.
Since those posts were not inane and since those links you ultimately posted aren't self-promotion, I'm gonna allow it though.

The Soul & Funk Music Recommendation Thread


Most of the ones I've mentioned are from that time period, since it's also my favorite era for funk.

I tried and it said I had to do 15 posts first. It wouldnt even let me reply to someone who had a youtube link in their original post. Sorry but I didn't see another way around it so I posted to topics I was interested in

Right on. Thanks man i will check it out

One can't use URL tags, but YouTube tags are not blocked.
Anyway, good to have you on board. With that nickname you should be popular around here. Lots of Beefheart fans on MB.

It's not a nickname, it's a username.
If you can differentiate between "criterion" and "criteria," then please do so with nickname/username.
