Subject: Funk Me

Written By: princessofpop on 04/15/03 at 08:00 a.m.

I need some help. I want to make a Funk/Funkadelic CD for a friend of mine, and I was wondering if any of you could possibly give me some ideas for songs.

Thanks 8)

plenty of good suggestions here...does it have to be strictly 70s? If not Tom Browne-'funkin for Jamaica' might be worth including 8), You could include Positive Force, 'we got the funk', not to mention loads to pick from James Brown stuff or for a different take on things maybe even the commmodores! ;)

Funk you! ;D

Dr. John- Right Place, Wrong Time
Sly and the Family Stone- Thank You(I think this was late 60s, but it's such a great song)
Roy Ayers' Coffy soundtrack is crazy funky.

Some awesome songs were already mentioned. You can never go wrong with George Clinton and The P-Funk or James B.

I think it was actually early 80s rather than 70s...but I still love it.

No 70's disco or funk album would be complete without Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music".

There's loads of cool stuff mentioned now (especially Curtis Mayfield 8)) and since a few 80s songs have been suggested I thought I'd add Cameo-'word up' to the list...it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I reckon any really good funk compilation would probably include it ;D

Remember the song "Funky Nassau"? It was a big hit in '73 but I can't for the life of me remember (and I'm too lazy to look it up) who did it. ???
