Funk. More please!

If you're on Spotify, here's a playlist that I made, imaginatively entitled 'Funk', plenty of stuff in there (it should be set to Public, so hopefully you can access it):

Used to be a much bigger playlist but somehow at some point a load of stuff must've got deleted or moved - Love all this old stuff, such amazing musicians, and love how the breaks were so influential in future music, particularly in the 'golden age' of hip hop of the mid/late 80s and early 90s

Gotta love a bit of The Fearless Flyers

Yh. Love the breaks! I did some gigs with a band called Breakestra who play a 'live DJ set' basically play a continuous set of classic break in to classic break.

Just seen this thread & Im in heaven, some great tunes right from the start.

You want funk, have some of my favourites from a bit of a fan...

Larry Youngs Fuel, one of the funkiest tunes ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1y-hMXxH7c

Eddie Russ, one of my musical heroes who I hd the pleaasure of meeting many years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxKBnR_8LIM

Betty Davis (married to Miles), she's just rude.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz4kUvHAIBg

Headhunters, more Herbie H, another hero of mine I had the pleasure of seeing live when he did stuff like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfbZZByhu5E

Roy Ayres being moody.

& lastly (for now) Gil Scott Heron, just because he has one of the coolest voices ever.

Larry Graham, bass player credited with inventing slap bass and playing with the amazing Sky and the family stone.

More Larry Graham, this time with that little purple fella

This track was part of a Spanish TV show and for some reason (probably the Prince estate) keeps getting taken off You Tube so be quick.

Add in a bit of fusion and you have this:
