Along with those second generation funk bands as they battled for the title. Con Funk Shun, Rose Royce, The Gap Band, Lakeside, Heatwave...often doing chorography and not seemingly freestyling like say Abraham Laboriel, Verdine White or Flea.
If I was tp pick one total package, playing, dancing (with choreography) and singing Duke Jobe of Rose Royce.
Might want to check this one out. Pretty goofy but funky
