I dare you to find a funk video that can top this.

Sign in to disble this ad
I am dead serious; this is the paragon of cool.

Everything in the video explodes with awesome.

Tightest band of all time? Check.
Badass suits? Check.
In your face attitude? Check.
Killer dance moves? Check.
James Brown and Bobby Byrd? Check.
FUNK??? CHECK.

I can't count the number of times I have listened to/watched this since I've found it. It never gets old. I just had to share, and if you can find something even remotely as amazing, then post it.

Hah! I know it's a bit gratuitous starting a thread about just one video, but it's THAT good.

That is hot! He definitely set the bar but there are a few modern bands that can hang! Tower Of Power be one of them!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGiJcvttbeM

This one has some serious groove going on! The horns are killin' it! They also got the call and answer thing going with Mimi!

Although it dosn't compare to The Godfather, this is a great clip as well.

In his hayday, Sly was about as funky as anyone.


.....Some killer Ken Smith tones in there too.

There are just way, way too many good ones out there. The Stevie vid was awsome too.

Lets see, for a JB contemporary try this one on for size.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBugw...eature=related

Or for something a little more modern with RHT on Bass try something like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP_v4hjRHoU

A good JB video but certainly not without peers.
