The best funk recording? any Funksters ?

[kraaag]

Sly and the Family Stone- If you want me to stay. I love the bass line and guitar grit.
There are alot what are some of yours?

One that I absolutely love is "Bootsy's Rubber Band - Live in Louisville '78". One of the greatest live albums of all time if you ask me.

"Stand!" by Sly and the Family Stone is another of my favourites (I actually think "There's a riot going on" is a bit overrated).

"Everything is everything" by Donny Hathaway is a must-get for anyone into funkateering. Has to be one of the best laid-back-funk-albums ever.

freddie's dead - curtis mayfield. actually...the whole superfly album!

[evilhellsatan]

Aaah... it's a good one... certain Curtis stuff can somtimes feel a bit to well-organized for me. But I absolutely love "Superfly".

Also, if you are into more outrageous funk stuff, I have to mention Jimmy Castor Bunch.

[fredsparky]

Sly is great. How about Average White Band, Mother's Finest, Isleys and Kool and the Gang, or even Edgar Winter.

Brothers Johnson-Ain't We Funkin Now (one of my favorite funk tunes ever)(Quincy Jones)
Slave
Ray Parker
Con Funk Shun-Electric Lady
Cameo
