I love songs like EWF's "Shining Star" and "In The Stone", Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" and "Sir Duke", the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing", and Fishbone's "Everyday Sunshine." Can anyone point me to today's R&B/Funk bands and artists that play original songs like these? Bonus points for bands with killer horn sections!
