Then right after that we use the crossfader to this.

PS I think Lynn normally did reggae (some early Trojan) and Ska (Rocksteady)

my fav from Dr John is clearly this one: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Chief/dp/B00123KCCA

Some epic Marvin Gaye and so overlooked when written about Marvin Gaye. Some good wake up or good night Funk, really.

A big up to Fat Larry's band some amazing tracks over the years. Although I don't normally like syrupy slow soul, 'Zoom' gets to me.

I'm sure it must have been mentioned, but if not, this is crucial...

Funny I've listened to that LP so many times my brain just fills in the Bass line that follows.
Boops!
 

 

[Shark_Jump]

That is a straight copy of the Ohio Players 1975 original.
 
I got a double A side single with 'Fire' on one side and 'Skin Tight' on the other. A most excellent slab of funk.

How good is this, the theme tune to the Braziian spoof of Jaws!

I think Bacalhau is Portugese for Salted Cod.

Apache by the Incredible Bongo Band must get a post for this thread.
 
Never have so many breakbeats existed on one song! Funky for sure. Possibly the first ever hip hop song?

Me too. I love how all the songs flow together into one long jam.

 

[Deep Funk]

A good bass line is often essential, too bad Michael Jackson did not understand that on 'Dangerous' for the first half of the CD, 'Jam' is a good track though. 

 

[Shark_Jump]

He gave a hundred lifetimes of bass lines on the Thriller Album though.
 
Here is a Commodore's question  ......
 
What is more funky,   Brick House   OR    
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5EmnQp3V48
 
Machine Gun  ?

"Brick House", hands down!
 
"Machine Gun" is great, but it always makes me think of the kind of funk used in '70s TV for station identification or something ("We'll be right back…"), whereas the intro on "Brick House" makes you want to run to the dance floor ("Awwww, sh-t, that's my jam!").
 
 
It kinda works like the skit on this piece of bompity-bomp from The Coup: "Pump this at the party…even if it ain't the single…"
