Funk 102

#101
A lot of you may not feel that Chaka, as a solo artist, is funk. That may be true but the Lady is funky! This one is from her album Chaka. That reminds me. I've got to get that one ripped! ;)

Chaka Khan

Some Love

Bassist: Some great ones listed on this album. Anthony Jackson, Will Lee, Mark Stevens, Hamish Stuart & Phil Upchurch. I wonder who did the work on this track? Opinions please?

Man, I need to go back through these Funk 10x threads... there's some AWESOME STUFF here!!! I forgot how good these threads are.

I'll try to avoid the J-pop. ;) :D lol

How about...

Larry Graham - It's Alright and a cover of it by the FunkHome AllStars (check the crazy cool sound on the bass, most audible at 1:40!)
The Ojays - For the Love of Money
Joss Stone - Incredible (maybe more into R&B (?), but like Chaka, she's got something going on that people don't realize)
The Rascals - Jungle Walk (I think this one might have been posted before though)
Aretha Franklin - Rock Steady

Hope those all qualify... :cool:
