Funk Bands

ebinflow Permalink
ebinflow Can someone please give me some suggestions for some good funk bands/songs/anything? I'm not talkin about disco funk, I'm talkin about funk that's got soul, like Sam and Dave's "Don't Worry, I'm Coming". If you could help a sister out, that'd be wonderful. Thanks everyone!

chalk2001 there was a great thread a couple months ago that had a bunch of classic funk youtube vids that people had embedded/linked...I'll try and drag it up...

But for now:

The Meters
Parliament Funkadelic
The Brothers Johnson (although this might be too disco-y for you)

I don't know if all these are the type of "funk" you're looking for, but they are all worth a listen.
