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]

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.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Can't forget my boy KC.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Probably the most underrated band in R&B. Chic. Song was sampled in the major rap hit Rappers Delight.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Very funky.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Cameo's most popular song.

 

[Kaizen]

This song has 165M views in Youtube.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Super funky.

 

[Kaizen]

Bonnie Tyler,

 

[TerpWomenFan]

The opening bassline on this song is awesome. They repeat it later in the song.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Very few can funk it up like the Fantastic Voyage groovers Lakeside. Get on the floor.

 

[Kaizen]

Another Madonna song,

 

[TerpWomenFan]

One of the coolest songs ever. Former #1 song. The Ohio Players.

 

[Kaizen]

Duane Allman & Boz Scaggs ~ ''Loan Me A Dime'' 1969​

A sad song and Duane's guitar work was a masterpiece...

 

[Bigboote]

Here's one from Robert Palmer. Has some great lines like

You used to ride tandem and had lots of fun
But bicycles for exercise are made for one
