Not a lot here giving me the nastyface yet
It’s time for a nastyface-off, reckon DezB has chops in that dept 🤩 Give us a real vizog-melter, and none of that slow noodle 😉
Prince eh? You need some Fred Halibut.
Maybe more soul than funk? I never know how to decide these things. Killer track, anyway
A couple of less famous tunes:

... and thanks to all contributors. I’ve enjoyed listening to all of them.
I’m thoroughly enjoying this, lots of faves mixed in with quite a few new to me. Please keep them coming.

I would post videos, but keep getting logged out. Too funky in here! Basically anything by:
The Meters
Cymande
Lee Dorsey
Rufus Thomas
Mickey and the Soul Generation
Poets of Rhythm
Sly Stone
Uptown Funk Empire
Plus a bunch of stuff that’s already been posted. Love the funk, early stuff and some newer bands any way. Lots of the later stuff from the original era is too close to disco and disco can **** off. Basically funk without the funk.
Funk disco whatever it's all groovy
Perfect imho
I hope this hasn't been posted, as it takes ages for videos to refresh on my page. Some classic funk from Dundee!
Average White Band
I was just about to post that athgray
How did they get so funky?
Seems to me a lot of what is posted is soul not funk?
Bootsy is the king!
I'm happy with both.
What do you consider to be the difference between funk and soul? I have my own criteria, but I'm interested to hear other opinions.

Erm... yeah.. and? I posted some Soul/Funk stuff because thats just funky soul innit.
Feel free to post some Funk, after all.... thats what the threads about innit.

Hard to define in words but easy to hear? Its something about the bassline and the rhythm?
looking up definitions took me into a world of music technicality that I do not understand!
Soul can be funky, funk can be soulful. There is a large soul/disco/funk crossover. Probably best to just post up what you think is funk for us to enjoy!

Funk Makes nastyface
Soul Makes sweetface
Or to put it another way - one shakes your booty through your nostrils, while the other breaks your heart through your ears.
Yeah, like talk to the hand... 🤷♂️
A modern interpretation, because lets face it Funk just ain't for the 70's right? Nahhhh... theres plenty of modern artists funking down:

That Eryka Badu session is awesome... thank you.
👍🥳
She is awesome live (awesome full stop IMO)
Shifting gears into lockdown hornspooge. Mmm mmmM!
I don't know anything about music, except that I love it. I came across this guy about 3 weeks ago... He's fantastic! I hope you enjoy it!
Funk is on the one. Emphasis on the first in the bar and repetitive bass rhythms. Soul and funk cross over a lot. Disco is more like P Funk. Not as good in my opinion, too clean and loses that dirty groove. Whatever floats your boat though, it’s all good. I love the low down New Orleans funk sound
Class thread class tunes.
Try this
Had my music on shuffle in the car and while technically not funk, if we’re arguing over dictionary definitions, I think it’s worthy of inclusion

That ^^ is very very good.
Having a few soul/funny chats tonight.
Shocked the above and 'loving you' with all the birds were by the same artist. I like both, I know, sad, but I'd never have known they were the same artist
