Wow, some people don't know what funk is, some do. For the Record, Prince is not funk, the difference between him and Morris Day is the fact The Time is a FUNK Band period. Prince is something between Rock and R&B.

Rap Groups do no belong in any discussion of "funk". They use samples from funk music, but they are not Funk.

It took 5-6 pages to see Teena Marie which some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I've also found very little Leon Foster Sylvers productions listed, some of you are smoking some good shit whatever it is.

So without further ado -

Props to my fellow DJ Rare12inchSingles from right here in Los Angeles pm You Tube.

Mark King of Level 42 and John Taylor of Duran Duran both learned how to slap the Bass like The Brothers Johnson and Bernard Edwards of Chic.

You must think I'm picking on you, I'm not, you just posted some Prince which has never been funk. The Funk group in Minn/St Paul is The Time.... Prince is clearly Rock focused with some R&B elements, I have all that man's shit save for the latest stuff cause its not that great its okay.

On with the show -

Now before you say Janet Jackson isn't funk. She generally isn't BUT her production team is Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from The Time, so naturally she would end up doing some funk -

Everybody fell in love with the TR-808 Drum Machine, so that's why its not Bass driven like stuff from the early 80's, late 79's but its still Funk.

As for showing off, well as I said I'm a DJ -

If I'd let people take pictures of me I would have plenty to show me in action.

From Wikipedia -

The bass line was inspired by the song "Good Times" by the Disco group Chic. In an interview with New Musical Express, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "...that Queen record came about because that Queen bass player... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio".[4]
Recording sessions were produced by Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich (West Germany) and consisted of Deacon playing almost all the instruments: bass, piano, rhythm and lead guitars and handclap percussion. Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed some noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer. There are no synthesisers used in the song: all effects are created with pianos, guitars, and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds. Finally, some sound effects were run through the harmonizer for further processing. The effect of the harmoniser can be heard clearly in the "swirling" nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric. During the mix the road crew suggested it as a single but the band did not like the idea until Michael Jackson recommended it after a concert (this anecdote was confirmed by Roger Taylor and Brian May on the US radio show In the Studio with Redbeard that spotlighted the album The Game on one episode). Freddie Mercury loved this track. Brian May recalled to Mojo magazine: "Freddie sung until his throat bled on Another One Bites The Dust. He was so into it. He wanted to make that song something special."

I likely meant The Emotion, I believe you posted "You got the best of my love" which was written by Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire I think. Kind of Disco/R&B hybrid.

More Funk from Leon Foster Sylvers of the Memphis based R&B Super Group dubbed the Jacksons of the South of the same name (Sylvers) in the mid 70s. He and Kashif made some of the meanest Funk beats of the early-mid 80's.

Speaking of Kashif....
