There was actually some heat in the dollar boxes at WFMU last fall, like this Syl Johnson-produced effort from Simtec & Wylie, for the lordly sum of $2:

2. harvey scales & the seven sounds--"the yolk"--chess
3. joe simon--"come on and get it"--sound stage 7
4. la revolucion de emiliano zapata--"mujer latina"--dimeca
5. jose feliciano--"hard times in el barrio"--rca
6. nina simone--"my sweet lord"-rca (adding this one since i need a fifth one b/c my first choice was already taken, though this track may not be funky i have been listening to this track all day.)

maurice mckinnies - sock-a-poo-poo 69' pts 1+2 - black and proud - minnesota funk, side 2 is
mary coleman - i'll make him mine - another tune with a guitarist that is , can't get enough of this one
billy larkin + the delegates - funky - kola shanah - title sums this one up pretty good
david dee - get on up/this would mean so much - vanessa - get on up is a nice uptempo mover with a great intro, "hey ya'll, i want everyone sitting around moaning and groaning, worrying about the worlds situation in vietnam, unemployment, and all other complications, i want you to get up, get on up and move!" the flipside is a funky deep soul tune which happens to be my favorite and is
kenny smith + the loveliters - go for yourself pts 1+2 - flo roe - my buddy brian played this for me and upon hearing drums that were and the line "getting over like a fat rat in a cheese factory with no cats around" i knew i had to have it, this 45 just happened to arrive in the mail today
nice dude. I need to go to one of those Reggae/Ska nights, that I believe you were a part of?

Lee Moses - Bad Girl on Musicor Two parts over two sides of a 45, understatedly funky soul 45 with Lee Moses killing it on the impassioned vocals.
I LOVE this, can't ever stop at just the one side.
*this is where I get confused (this is some seriously nit-picky stuff and ultimately, who cares what we call music, but,) I really thought this would be considered a soul song through and through, not sure what's funky about it...
ak. who cares. the song rules. the pleading! the drumming!

Yeah, I did say "understatedly funky". Pretty much I had just listened to it & thought it was too great to not mention, hence the stretch on the classification
