Re: Best Funk Songs

A few faves basslines off the top of my head:

Cameo - Candy

Bros Johnson - Stomp

Chukii Booker - Anything from his first album. A very underated player, and
one of my favorites.

Billy Cobham - Stratus

James Brown's Funky People - Anything. One of ther most sampled albums ever.

Ohio Players - Skin Tight

Rick James - Bustin out/Give it to me

My roots are in blues and classic rock. I'm in an original alternative
rock band right now. I enjoy it, but I'm finding it a bit stifling doing
just originals.

For my own enjoyment and growth I'd like to be a better funk player. I'd
like some suggestions for what you guys would consider songs that really
capture the essence of funk.

Thanks in advance.
