The Funkiest Thing Ever ?

spongehaed

Lots and lots of stuff is funky, I was just curious as to what people think is the funkiest thing ever. Maybe this? Or...

Oink

I don't know what's the funkiest thing ever, but there is a good chance it's something by Fela alright...

Check out Ordinary Love by Stevie Wonder.

Before the song transitions to the female-only vocal, Stevie plays the bass keyboard riff which is serious fohnky!

go out and buy Parliment's-The Motor Booty Affair(1978) or Curtis Mayfield's-Live at the Bitter End, NYC(early 70s) or Fishbone's-In Your Face(1986) all very very funky.........

I'm sticking with this... I've said it many times before but I think this is the funkiest song in existance.

The entire album (My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me) is excellent.

Drexl Spivey

That is cool


Does anyone have more of this (funkie/saxo where the saxophone goes a bit crazy and never seems to end)?

yeah it funks, but his stuff is too disco-funk i always thought, the **** on p-funk's Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge, Mothership connection, Motor booty, etc is the real deal dirty space funk that slides like an eel through seaweed, bootsy is the master, eddie on guitar, w Fred on horns, Bernie on the keys and starchild in the captains seat get ready for
lift-off!

Parliament-Funkadelic are the business. Easily running for the most enjoyable music ever.

Maceo Parker. This guy is awesome.

Herbie Hancock. From the album Thrust! Also check out the Headhunters album.

The Brecker Brothers. Some of their other stuff I find hard to get into, but this is a gem.

The Commodores.

Casiopea. Love a lot of their stuff.

Chick Corea Elektric Band.

More fusion than funk, but it's all got that feel.

Thanks for posting that Pigmeat Markham track, never heard it before - its brilliant. Only heard the motown cover by "Shorty Long" , which is Ok but slick and polished, its great to hear the original.
