The bass line on this one is pretty funky. A bit of a stretch, I know, but I always have fun playing this tune:

 

[RitterSport]

Lookin' For Clues by Robert Palmer (although he was so funky on the Sneaking Sally Through the Alley album, maybe it's not unexpected)

Funk #49 by The James Gang

The Distance by Cake

ETA: Trampled Under Foot and Houses of the Holy by Led Zep

Everybody's definition of funky is gonna vary, but there's a load of funkiness in Latin/Latin jazz. Maybe you consider it fusion, so it doesn't count, but this number by Paquito D'Rivera always gets me hyped. (And there's LOTS more where that came from.)

That's a Greg Howe tune!And it IS Fusion!
