Shit, James Chance & Contortions/James White & the Blacks made their whole name on "new wave" (or probably more accurately, "no wave") funk & soul. Check the live record for a crazed version of "King Heroin" as well as an even better version of MJ's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough!!"

Ah, but why talk about it, when I can share it? I keep forgetting I have full MP3-creating capabilities now...I might just have to start a "post 5 songs you're feelin' thread" tonight, to get my MP3 on...until then:
James Chance did a pretty OK cover of "I Got You I Feel Good" too, if you can dig that whole early 80's "no wave" stylee. I think that he made some great records, but he's one of those people that hasn't really been re-discovered yet.
is Love of the Common People considered soul-ish? pop? country????
Stiff Little Fingers did a cover of that.
I'd consider it country, since the earliest version I can think of is by Waylon Jennings (pre-Winstons).
The Nitecaps covered Wilmer & the Dukes'"Give Me One More Chance."
And to the person who asked about the J. Geils Band's covers of R&B material, my faves include "Looking For A Love" (originally by the Valentinos, the same song that former Valentino Bobby Womack covered) and "First I Look At The Purse" (a Contours song).
I'd sooner stick with the originals on their first two Atlantic albums (The J. Geils Band and The Morning After).

James Chance - Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (Live 1980)
Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy
working in a coal mine-devo
cosign on the slits too- always flogging that track.
Yeah, that was the hit version in the US - they would play the edit sometimes, too, but when it was a hit on the radio it was the medley.
