    It might not be really funk, but some skunk funk (live version), from the Brecker Brothers, has a really nice bass going on. Also you might try some Tower of Power songs, like Squib Cake, or Still be Diggin to James Brown.

    Sorry about that. I was just looking through my mp3 list at the time and someone put in the wrong ID3 tag for artist name. I meant Kool and the Gang. ;) Really!

    Glide by Pleasure, Strawberry letter #23, Get the funk out my face and stomp by the brothers johnson, just about anything by the Reddings and Slave. You have to go back to the 70s/80s for these are seriously old school funk:D

    How about Cholly from Funkadelic? Rumpofsteelskin (sp?) by Parliament was also funky.

    one of my favorites is Stanley Clarke's "Lopsy Lu" from his first solo album.

    It has very funky popping/ slapping and some nice funk counterpoint.

    I use this for my advanced students.

    "Watching You" by Slave.
    "I Like it" by The Debarges.
    "You're love takes me out" by Cameo.
    "If a girl answers dont hang up" by Vanity 6/Prince.

    Don't get me started.

    "If A Girl Answers..." by Vanity 6 is one of Prince's funkiest basslines! As for Pleasure, I also like "Dust Yourself Off", and as for Slave, you gotta mention "Stone Jam"! If you're going to mention Patrice, how about "Let the Music Take Me"?

    True but The Time's 777-9311 is his funkiest with Let's Work following closely. IMO, IMHO, etc. How about your homeboys Woodchuck? Brick's We Don't Wanna Sit Down was pretty cool but my all time favorite from them would be Living From The Mind. Anybody remember Raydio? They had some funk before Ray Parker, Jr. went solo.

    I believe that is his second solo album (the self-titled one). IIRC, Children of Forever was his first solo album which came out two years before his self-titled album.
