| | | | considering there's only one recognized "funk" player on this list, Imma have to say Larry Graham.
The omissions on this list are staggering.
No Bootsy?
No Edwards?
No Verdine White?
No Jamerson?
No Larry Graham?
just crazy.

She has a great taste in music for that age and lots to learn and enjoy.  |

I would vote for Verdine White, Bernard Edwards or Louis Johnson. Larry Graham and Bootsy are pretty out there. Great players but I wouldn't advise people to emulate them. |
