bazooka Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Humble Pie is absolutely fantastic super-charged boogie-blastin' Rock & Roll, but FUNK
MuzikTyme Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 I'll check that..Bazooka. What is funk, anyway? Black persons playing completely well or white people messing it all up? True to my nature and yours, bazooka... don't Change Horses (in the middle of a street) But I see your point. Is there a "funk" song sang by caucasion expression? To me, this song is an exception!
bazooka Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 What is funk, anyway? I've never been much interested in pigeon-holing any music, but here's a couple broad definitions. What It Is and Probably More Than You Wanted To Know I like to think I intuitively know Funk when I hear it. AWB's grooves definitely qualify, and they offer clear-cut proof that at least some Caucasians are capable of Funkifizin'. (I think you can see that Humble Pie's superlativeness is undeniable, but is just from a different realm.)
bazooka Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 She's Looking Good - Rodger Collins . . Wilson Pickett covered it, but this is the original definitive version .. and maybe just a regional hit. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is - Rose Royce of Car Wash fame.
phil Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 ^Two good ones, Bazooka. I'd Rather Be With You - Bootsy Collins Maybe Your Baby - Stevie Wonder
Batman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Posted January 10, 2011 I'm on a big Brothers Johnson kick right now. One of them played bass on MJ's "Off the Wall" album, and their four best albums were produced by Quincy Jones. Reccomended to fans of "Off the Wall," late 70s Isley Brothers, early Prince, and good times in general. Just great, slick, sunshiney funk I'll Be Good To You Strawberry Letter 23 Tomorrow Celebrations
Batman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Posted January 10, 2011 the 2nd one is really famous and I'm sure everyone will recognize it. One of the classics of the 70s!
bazooka Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Give It Up - Lee Dorsey Happy Soul - Dave Cortez with The Moon People
Carl Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Love it. Those horns at the beginning let you know something good is coming soon.
bazooka Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 This one is 'new' to me. Poor sound quality, but worth a listen. Stop and Check Yourself - Garnet Mimms
bazooka Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Express Yourself - The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band
Carl Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Bim Sala Bim - Fantastic Soul Inventions [smaller]AKA [/smaller] Hudson County. I just discovered this -- apparently a rare single released around 1975 by a group from Italy (?). We tracked down a member of Hudson County to find out about this delightful Funk nugget. Try to guess where the title came from before you read this. Bim Sala Bim Songfacts
MuzikTyme Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Fight the Power Li'l funk . . . Duzik and my li'l friend machine gun
MuzikTyme Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Tip Of My Tongue - The Tubes I liked that song a lot. I didn't think that the Tubes were capable. But do you think they are funk-n-soul?
phil Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 No. The Tubes are a Rock act. They got some help on that track from Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire.
bazooka Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 Funky Broadway, Part 1 Funky Broadway, Part 2 The original by Dyke & the Blazers
MuzikTyme Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 No. The Tubes are a Rock act. They got some help on that track from Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire. So THAT's where the funk came from! I guess I'll getaway
bazooka Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do ) - Wlson Pickett Edited April 5, 2014 by Guest
MuzikTyme Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Real Mother for Ya! ~ Johnny (guitar) Watson. Now, 'zOOka, I'm not sure if the above is considered funk but I can be certain that the above is a catalyst of funk soon to be invented. And...I love the three purple musical characters. How do you do that? ♫♫♫ Maybe one day you'll show me.
