Greg Errico. Go to the 2:00 mark of the video and check the man laying down a slamming breakbeat wearing a fringed cheetah print jumpsuit in Harlem. It's impossible to be funkier.
in terms of drum machines, i think that "there's a riot" has a few tracks that have that going on (family affair, etc) but i think most of those are also mixed with live drums/percussion....
imho, newmark took sly into a waay more sophisticated and funky thing on "fresh" and "small talk" before the latter started to really burn out.no disrespect to errico but he never played anything as funky and complex as this:
We'll have to agree to disagree on Errico vs Newmark. I personally like drummers who beat the shits into the floor. I appreciate finesse but give me the Errico/Bonham/Ward style bashers any day.

Mick Jagger. I just watched the TAMI show and dude followed James Brown and tore the place down.
With all due respect, you're probably one of the few people who think following JB with the Stones was a wise decision. I love the Rolling Stones, too, but...
The TAMI show?
James Brown had just put on the most amazing show leaving the audience exhausted and confused, and then the Stones, who had yet to write any of their best songs yet, came out and did an electrifying set.
Are you seriously suggesting that Roy Head or Dennis Coffey could have come out and done a better job?*
* I know you are not.
Wolf, when the Stones filmed their scene, they had to wait a half-hour or so for the whole auditorium could cool down. JB was at the height of his powers that day, and no act - black, white, whatever - could follow that. That was one of the Stones' finest performances, but it terms of energy buildup, they really should have let JB close the show.

you sound not-funky.
certain Funk works well with a hard steady thump. Other types need a subtler touch.
buddy Miles pouning type shit fits fine with that era. Compare Miles to Mitch Mitchell when Jimi got funky and ill take the hard shit.
I couldnt see Errico doin what Mike Clark is doin in a fusion setting.

Well, yeah, I agree, JB should have closed the show.
But he didn't.
I can't think of any one who could have followed that better than Jagger did. Thus he gets my vote for funkiest white man ever.
my friends dad. BARRY RICHARDS is the funkiest white man i've ever met. he's been a dj/music hustler his whole life.

Dude, this guy is rad. I had never heard of him before, despite growing up in the DC area. Really enjoyed these clips. The Groove-In clips are amazing!

I most likely sound white!
Sly and The Family Stone
Betty Davis - Production and Drums
Graham Central Station
I think most of the breaks yo taken from these artist are done by Greg Errico.
I don't recall Errico playing on the GCS albums. I do remember Willie "Wild" Sparks playing on the ones with the braeks. I could be wrong....
Ooops...my bad.
Better and funkier are two different thangs.
Wasnt the drum machine way more prevalent by his era w/ Sly?
Don't get me wrong, there's a time and place for f*ck-knockery, but I am speaking of Les Nuances Ill.
