There was only one Bo Diddley:

The Tragically Hip - New Orleans is sinking

The guitar work by Rob Baker in this song is off the charts good. I got the riff stuck in my head.

[Bigboote]

There was only one Bo Diddley:

My favorite Bo Diddley cover, courtesy of the Doors, and a demonstration that they were SO MUCH more than just Jim:

[Scud49]

Such a soulful groove to this version of "What's Going On" by Les McCann:

 

[Scud49]

Smokey Robinson - Quiet Storm.

Oh yes, that beautiful soft thumping bass line in the background:

Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford - now this one has quite the funky groove to it:

 

[hoophuskee]

Always had a hard ime defining funk other than a few songs. here are 4.

1--- Strawberry Letter 23.

 

[hoophuskee]

2-of 4- Not sure if Boogie Woogie is Funk in any manner but in some cases it can be. Not sure if this classifies.

 

[hoophuskee]

3 of 4 -- Gotta have some Temps!:

 

[hoophuskee]

4 of 4 -- Bring it on Cookie Monster!!

The Invisible Band-All Night Thing

You are really killing this thing my man.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Let's let the white boys have little fun. (They were actually a rock band who were told they needed to play funky music if they wanted to continue to entertain - hence the guitar solo in the middle of the song. So they came up with this.)

Play That Funky Music White Boy - Wild Cherry

I'm shocked this only got 1 like. Great selection.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Very good selection. Out of the box.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

First I want to give Scud49 a big thumbs up. This is definitely in my wheelhouse.

Second, when I think of funky songs, I think of a strong baseline. However, as my 1st song suggests, this doesn't have to be the case.

Here are some great songs that hasn't been posted yet.



Especially the ending of the song.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

 

[TerpWomenFan]

This would be my top selection. Bootsy Collins wrote it and just killed it on the bass.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Tied with Bootsy Collins as my favorite bass player. Larry Graham. I'm going to have to throw some Sly songs on here later.
