Soul, Funk and Motown Genre • Page 3

Not sure this technically fits the bill for the thread, but I've had it on repeat all day:

 

A funk legend :(

 

Watch: Aretha Franklin's Casually Colossal Rendition Of 'O Tannenbaum'

This is tremendous, despite the butchered German.

 

Been all about James Brown this week.

 

new Mayer Hawthorne tune is dope.

 

A sad bump, but a necessary one. RIP Bill Withers. One of the best to do it.

 

GOAT

 

Yeah, just welled up listening to Lean On Me.

 

Here's my favorite compilation tape of all time, Jerry Blavat Presents For Dancers Only.

I really wish I could find the version of Heat Wave with Jerry talking over the beginning. It feels unfinished without it

EDIT:

here it is!

 

Been having a Funkadelic session this evening. Maggot Brain is obviously the stand out album, but the self titled is just as essential IMO.

 

I'd say One Nation Under a Groove is their most stand-out album, myself, based on what I've heard thusfar.

 

R.I.P. Bonnie Pointer.

 

Oh man need to sub here, haven't had as much time lately to go diggin through crates or blogs to find new stuff though.

 

Not to be confused with the British band of the same name.

 

Sometimes, even white boys can be smooth

 

I've only ever heard their 80s pop stuff before so holy SHIT this is shockingly great.

 

I think the 80s songs are cool too but yes, this is what they sounded like before that. They made a lot of songs in that sound.

 

Trust me that wasn’t a zing. I live for 80s pop.

I just had no clue they had this kind of stuff too and it’s awesome.

 

It's 9 kinds of shitty how few legendary black artists have their own threads on here.

Hang on.

 

If I believed in a god, I'd say you're doing his work

 

Going back through this thread and saw this and my god I want to go to that first shop haha

 

It’s really crazy (if it still around). I’ve never seen anything like it.

 

I’m thinking about opening some of those threads now too lol

 

Same haha. Might do one for The Isley Brothers as they're one of the few acts whose 80's stuff I don't mind. Between The Sheets is just pure sex music!
