If It's Funk Post It

Post Reply New Topic

^I like Jazz-funk. I hope that fits in with this topic, since it is really a sub-genre of Jazz. Or, is it purely for Funk? No pun intended. (If that’s even considered a pun. Perhaps, just a (inadvertant) play on words).

Legomaster started the thread, so I'm being presumptuous in responding, but I'd hate to see the thread die this soon. I'm seeing jazz-funk, electro-funk, and a lot of old school funk on here.

Here's something new Joyce Cooling and Al Jarreau



and something old yes we can can

Kool & The Gang - Hollywood Swinging (1973)

^

Thank you !

^^This used to be called Afro-Cuban? Maybe still is? I'm terrible at keeping the subgenres straight.

More Jaco, with Joni (and Wayne, and...) God I LOVE the walking bass at the very end of this...



@Legomaster: you done it again. I had a kitty who loved this song, ages ago. She'd come out and frisk whenever it was playing! I started singing her a version with her name in the lyrics. Thank you

Too funky for the jazz thread

My post is not funk, but it's a Planet Funk

Ohio Players - Fire (1974)

Oh my... nobody ever posted THIS!



(Edit in: one I posted isn't properly balanced, sounds like. Found the full soundtrack, a little better.)

(This is the guy Barry White was trying to be.)

Finding it a bit hard to know where one genre ends and another begins, these days, but, Ive never been the best at categorizing or drawing lines, per se. Not sure if this is funk or disco_or, either/both? This is one of those songs that keeps me in a motivated, positive mood...
