Can't live W/O my funk music!

You just won the "I Don't Know What The Fuck I'm Talking About" Award.

If Prince isn't funk, then The Time isn't funk because Prince (as Jamie Starr) produced practically 100 percent of their early albums.

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.

Funk with a French horn backing! Can you say "bad ass motherfucker?!"

Prince is funk, soul, rock, rhythm and blues, and anything that he has ever wanted to be.

He's good, but I can one-up ya on the keyboard with a friend of mine...Les Paul Roque, formerly of Kool & the Gang. He tears it UP!

Loving this thread! Talk about a walk down memory lane. Love the Brothers Johnson, Midnight Star, Gap Band, George Benson, Grover Washington Jr., Cameo, Earth Wind & Fire, Barkays. Did anyone mention the Dazz Band or Lakeside? All the music I love to dance to...who can sit still? LOL

I don't know if I would call "I wanna be your lover" funk. Sounds like period correct R&B to me, a bit Stevie Wonder sounding, but again this is MY OPINION.

You could argue Shalamar who happened to be managed by my 6th grade teacher and met Howard Hewit when I was 12 is funk, but I doubt anybody else would call it that.

Fans opinions are one thing, but the people that have to play the stuff, program music for radio, nightclubs and judge weather shit is even fit for playing at all I think are a better judge of What's what.

My 2 Euros.
 
This is for YOU, BA

I think of you when I listen to this variation...W/C jam babay....

Loved Still in the groove cut. I grew up in my teens playing the shit out of his albums! Ray was slick funk.

I also used to jam to this...

Yes. Thank you, Jordan. Her name was Penny. Prime of her life, suddenly got sick with Pyometra, less than a week. She died in my arms (twice), 20 minutes before she could make it into life-saving surgery as I waited for the Vet to arrive. I can't shake the trauma of it all. I'm a shell right now.
