OK...so we always discuss everyone's favorite this and everyone's favorite that, but I've never seen a thread where we discuss down and dirty funky grooves. So, the question is...what is the funkiest groove or song?

Personally, I like the George Clintons, and Bootsy Collins's of the world, but I've got to say that the absolute funkiest groove I've ever heard in my life has to be the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 Pinball song on Sesame Street. How groovy was that ball rolling all over the pinball game and ending up in the right spot to make that blimp fly across the screen. I heard that tune today and realized that even the great funk masters couldn't even rip out a tune like that. :D

Otherwise, a close second would be Parliament's "Flash Light".

Anyone else have any great funk tunes to mention?

Silly Putty by Stanley Clarke is nice and funky but the version by Primus is even better.

I just burned my all-time greatest funk jams. Some of these songs are too old school for a lot of you. But they are funky, trust me.

It's Your Thing - Jackson 5
Funky Good Time - James Brown
Keep On Truckin' - Eddie Kendricks
Slide - Slave Featuring Steve Arrington
You Got The Love - Rufus and Chaka Kahn
Superfly - Curtis Mayfield
I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You - Leon Haywood
Firecracker - Brass Construction
Dazz - Brick
Skin Tight - Ohio Players
Boogie Down - Eddie Kendricks

My choices are really predictable, but here goes anyway:

Sex Machine by James Brown
Le Freak by Chic
Dance to the Music by Sly and the Family Stone

I really haven't listened to as much funk as I should (being a bass player and all). The radio stations in Houston don't play much of the old school stuff and most new R&B music is more herky-jerky than funky.

I saw George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars this past month at the Verizon Theater... They funked the whole place up! The band played for 4 freakin' hours! The Verizon people turned up the house lights and cut the stage lights and we just kept on jammin' till the show was over! Bad @ss!!

"Sh!t, Goddamn, get off your @ss and jam!!"

Mine are too. Very commercial, but probably why I like them:

(She's a) Brick House
Play that Funky Music, White Boy
And anything by James Brown.

Pretty funny since the song is about a woman who was built like a brick (****)house...

C'mon...most of you guys are picking the predictable Top 40ish hits from back in the day. You can do better than that.

Play that Funky Music???????? You're better than that, man!!

Dazz has got to be the sweetest, smoothest funk ever.

My Selection is far from Top 40ish, but a bunch of the others are from the K-Tel Funk Music Sampler. :D

Always heard the catch phrase ("Who's the man with the masterplan") from DJ Jimi (et al), didn't know this is where it originated. Excellent funk!



lol at the thread resurrection!

I'm a big Tower of Power fan. My favorite horn section. "Soul Vaccination", "What is Hip?", "Knock Yourself Out", "Diggin' on James Brown", "Soul With a Capital 'S'".



Maceo of course.


Over in Austin, we have Mingo Fishtrap.


Add some jazz into the mix.

Liquid Soul


Brecker Brothers


Trombone Shorty
