    Yeah, I gotta second that. There's plenty of cuts that might be well known to cats on this board that are definitely NOT classifiable as popular funk bangers.

    In my opinion, its gotta be stuff that is in some way recognisable to people who are not out and out funk fans, and for many of these people, a lot of what we would call disco probbaly falls into that category.

    I would say Chic - good times, while not being funk, does qualify because it get plays by us in funk sets, and gets known for its association to funk and hip-hop.

  • Peaches & Herb - Shake Your Groove Thing

    THIS IS NOT FUNK.

    MJ - Rock w/ You.....not funk.

    Just sayin.

    I find it very unlikely the Bar Kays covered Midnight Star,
    but that song is the absolute bomb. The whole EXCUSE ME MADAM
    YOU'RE STANDING STILL IN A NO-PARKING ZONE - SO IF YOU DON'T GET
    A MOVE ON THAT BODY, I'LL BE FORCED TO GIVE YOU A TICKET - SO GET -
    WITH - IT! routine kills me everytime. My early 80's R&B 12" collection
    pretty much consists of this and Shannon "Let the Music Play"


    That Midnight Star LP has some jams, too.

    also barkays have a song "Freakshow on the Dance Floor" which may have added to the confusion

    take a note, i've finally come around on that song...


    generally on point shit, except of course normal people don't know Manzel..

    jackson 5- i want you back, abc
    wilson pickett- engine number 9
    sly and the family- i wanna thank you, i wanna take you higher
    california soul- any version
    any JB
    aretha- think, rocksteady
    ike and tina turner - bold soul sister (depends on the crowd)
    yes, jungle boogie and express yourself slay...
    funky temps stuff like "papa was a rolling stone" and "could nine" and "i can't get next to you"
    dr john- right place, wrong time


    actually UBB are a good source for normal people funk, on a pick and choose basis...
