Perhaps not the funkiest, but certainly funky enough for longevity. A little history:

PART 1 of 3

Then

Wild Cherry:

Hard version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzdQ6q0 ... r_embedded

Now

Country Blake:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p ... txiSLcFrxQ

Note: Video is what it is for comparison only. Hope you enjoyed them. The examples only scratch the surface of this far reaching hit. I didn't even include the jazz version.

I hope you enjoyed this grouping. I think Funk exists in all of us (some more than others), and as long as I like Funk it will definitely exist. :wink:

Ditto for your excellent postings SBLS :)

Me thinks there's some good funk by all.

Here's another. Betty Davis (Ex wife of Miles Davis and friend of Sly and Hendrix)
One of my faves. (Especially F.U.N.K.)

Thanks again FSB 8)
Love funk. Betty Davis and I thought of Ruby Jones. Certain girls have a spark, and a good band.
