You're one bad Funk brother Leeperry. You're almost making me a Funk addict...

Stax records were a huge Funk (and Soul) Label in the 70s before they went bust. I used to have a compilation Album called 'Takin You There'. Issac Hayes was one of theirs.

Rufus Thomas was also one of their biggest acts

This is Rufus's 'Funky Chicken'. I think this is the Wattstax concert at Los Angeles Coliseum on August 20, 1972. He also had a hit with the Funky Penguin.
There are some classic crowd shots in this clip. They got the funk big time.

BTW This label has a huge catalogue of rare and fantastic soul and funk.

so that killer "funky hot pants" rare groove compilation(I was referring to earlier) has audio previews here: Funky Hot Pants: 14 Super Rare Original Funk Monsters From The Late 60's To The Early 70's

and that's the funky country man, such an amazing voice! Skydog's Elysium: Larry Jon Wilson - Ohoopee River Bottomland

Harmonica sounds so damn good on my current set up! I'm trying to locate his four albums from the 70's...never can't get enough of that funky stuff

Manu Dibango killing it in 72.

oh yes, "new bell" and its amazing bassline

there is most definitely not enough love for the Parliafunkadelicment camp here... probably because leeperry is a hater (i kid, i kid).

but George Clinton's influence and output cannot be misunderestimated. i strongly recommend any self-respecting or blossoming funkster pick up these two albums:

Funkadelic's eponymous debut:

and Cosmic Slop:

i picked these two because they're both masterpieces and both too often overlooked.

If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotions.

I have to admit that I'm really blown away by this cover...she took the remastered karaoke version of the original tune: YouTube - Allison Iraheta - Papa Was A Rolling Stone

her album is **** coz she did the kinda music kids wanna hear these days...but if she EVER makes some funky soul stew, it's gonna be really really good

 

[leeperry]

hehe, I like the liner notes in that heavy funk compilation...couldn't have sait better
