| | | | Looking for some good 70s funk/soul
Sign in to disble this ad
I'm a huge fan of funk. I played guitar for about a year when I was into classic rock. I'd say the first funk I got into was old school RHCP, and then I found Parliament. Parliament and the album Freaky Styley is the reason I got my bass, and 2 years later I haven't looked back.
Anyway, I watched Dolemite yesterday and Uptown Saturday Night. I loved both movies, as well as the music. Tonight I'm going through Dolemite to try and learn some of it. I also got myself some music by the O'Jays.
Can anyone recommend me some music to check out thats similar to what I've described? |
