Right, I'm always looking for some good funk music...

I'm a big fan of "The James Taylor Quartet". I love "The New Mastersounds" and Eddie Robberts... The German (now defunct) band "Spice" had some very good funk tunes as well...

Anyone got any suggestions or wanna share some good funky tunes?



EDIT: I reckon this is all pretty modern funk. I like the classics too, got loads of them. Just looking more for the fresh stuff these days...

It is the foodstuff for my soul
James Brown, early Commodores, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire bring it onnn
modern stuff that works for me comes from Prince, Jamiroquai

Amp Fiddler, D'Angelo.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Parliment or anything with george Clinton or bootsy collins [thumbup]

Old school funk!

Funky Bureau, James Brown, Dayton, Jimmy Castor Bunch are a few I listen to.

Rick the original Superfreak James: for me this is just about the ultimate funk song: "Give it to me Baby" "Ghetto Life" "You and I"
Con Funk Shun "Ffun" (this is one of my fav. funk tunes. buy it!)
Ohio Players "Skin Tight" "Fire"
JB's (james brown's backup band) "Blow Your Head"
The Gap Band "you dropped the bomb on me" "burnin rubber" "early in the morning"
Dazz Band "Let it Whip"
the Dramatics "Watcha See is Watcha Get"
Parliament (pretty much everything they've done"
Sly "everyday people" "I want to take you higher"
BarKays "Too hot to stop"
Isaac Hayes "Walk on By" "Shaft" (or any of his blaxploitation soundtracks)
Funk Brothers (played on dozens of motown classics) "Psychadelic Shack",

speaking of funk, anyone love this Nike commercial as much as me? for the life of me, I can't place the first song. Anyone know? I've tried to google it, but can't find the artist. I wanna pick it up on itunes.

Nice one dude!! You know your classics!

"You are starting too fast" is a deadly song! [thumbup]

You forgot one though: Bobby Byrd (but it's ok, I know you got soul )
