Just seeing if anyone would like to share some funk, whether it be funky soul, jazz, blues, rock, electronic, hip hop...

My contribution: Fred Wesley's Four Play

So basically share any kind of music? Because you just listed a bunch of non-funk genres

If it's funky, sure.

I don't listen to a lot of blues, so I'm not able to think of a funky blues song at the moment; however, I feel like the following songs would qualify as funky:

Funky soul: Smokey Robinson - Baby That's Backatcha
Funky jazz: the aforementioned Fred Wesley - Four Play
Funky rock: Dr. John - Right Place Wrong Time
Funky electronic: Daft Punk - Lose Yourself to Dance
Funky hip hop: Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight

You're right, though; there would likely be a lot of bleeding through of the genres.

I guess if anyone feels like posting some good blues, do that too.

I'm not expert on musical genres, but why isn't the title of this thread just "Funk Music?"

It probably should have been, but I think that I made it funky so not to limit it to the specific funk genre.

I'm seriously wanting to find some funky blues now, if it exists.

I think that I was originally going to title it: "Funk."

George Clinton and Killer Mike were on NPR this morning talking about music and barber shops.

shoutout to the Tulsa Turnaround

and both Country Funk compilations

Thanks for the contribution.

I checked out the songs from one of the Country Funk compilations, and a lot of them sounded like early southern rock.

John Randolph Marr's Hello L.A., Bye-Bye Birmingham sounded like it would qualify as funky country, and I'd describe Bobby Darin's Light Blue as having a funky blues sound.

Haha, funky classical, anyone?

\/ Awesome.

"Funky electronic: Daft Punk - Lose Yourself to Dance"

Daft Punk are primarily an electronic group, but other than the vocoder, there's nothing electronic about this song.

Nice.

That's true, but I felt that the vocoder was sufficient enough to qualify it as electronic.
