There’s some good stuff listed. It’s good to see several people mention The Barkays. I didn’t see the Dramatics though. “What you see is what you get” is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p353zVhKyN0&feature=related#

Prince’s “Sexy MF” is so funky you can taste it. (as Buddy Guy would say)

Funk is so fun to play and improv!

If you like this stuff, you will love the Soul Story collection. I have no idea how I ever lived without it!!

Sidenote: Sly is probably in my top 5 best vocalists of all time.
(But don’t listen to me, Mike Patton is also on that list, too…and NOT ironically.)

Eben:

Now, I have ultimate respect for your marketing abilities, but let me just say that your Funk Starter Kit is missing the founding fathers of funk, The Funky Meters, From New Orleans.

Art Neville, George Porter, Jr., Joseph (Zigaboo) Modeliste and Leo Nocentelli.

Worth your attention!

Also, please let me know if you (or Frank) want to do some Marketing for Reggae Music Knowledge exchanges. I am well open to that symbiotic relationship.

Best,

Howard J
