bazooka Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 from wikipedia: "Watson died on stage on May 17*, 1996, while on tour in Yokohama, Japan. According to eyewitness reports, he collapsed mid guitar solo. His last words were 'ain't that a bitch', probably in reference to the song Ain't that a Bitch." I've already posted this here and in other threads, but I just can't get enough. Ain't That A Bitch - Johnny "Guitar" Watson --- *15 years ago today.

MuzikTyme Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 I've already posted this here and in other threads, but I just can't get enough. Ain't That A Bitch - Johnny "Guitar" Watson That's one song I'll definitely never tire of, either. I miss ole Johnny. He was so good to his audience. How 'bout this one... Give Up the Funk ~ Parliament And...just one more thing. I don't believe anyone, funk or soul beat Earth, Wind and Fire's "Spirit" album, 1976! Look for ever and you'll NEVER find a bad song! here's but one of the extremely superior tracks!
blind-fitter Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 The Temptations ~ "Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down" The Temptations ~ "You Make Your Own Heaven And Hell Right Here On Earth" The Temptations ~ "Runaway Child, Running Wild"
MuzikTyme Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 This blast from the past is a breath of 70s funk! Keep on Truckin' ~ Eddie Kendricks (the former falsetto Temptation)
bazooka Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 I've deleted my previous post of this song to replace it with this more accessible link. Last Train - Allen Toussaint
Carl Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand The Rain Love this sound and her voice, but I have a hard time listening to a lot of Ann Peebles because she's always singing about how awful her man is.
night2day Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 I've truly never listed Ann Peebles in my "funk" category. But, I guess you like her...but do you think she's about funk? What is funk? The following musicians explain it cleverly.
shepet Posted December 29, 2011 Report Posted December 29, 2011 Should check out this big list (youtube vids are linked to all songs). A lot of goodies... Over a Thousand Funk & Groove Tunes
Carl Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Maybe the funkiest Halloween song (sort of) I've heard - Otis Redding, "Trick or Treat"
