The 70s Soul/Funk/R&B Thread

[R. Evans]

This song is definitely from the 70s. Each singer introduces himself with his sign and then name. Good vocals from the guys though and the song is catchy. There is a 9-minute version but I went with the shorter one. 9 minutes is just too long.

The Floaters- Float On



This one didn't do near as well as Float On and the Floaters were relegated to one-hit wonder status.

[Flower]

Rufus Thomas

 

[R. Evans]

The Staple Singers had one of the best female singers of the 70s in Mavis Staples. Fantastic voice!

[snakes&ladders]

Bootsy Collins

His funked up cover of Jimi Hendrix "If 6 was 9"




Earth, Wind, and Fire





George Clinton

Totally agree with you on AXIOM FUNK. I must say that many of the bands posted as funky bands are in reality only disco bands.....disco has NOTHING to do with funky music

 

[Astrid Kirchherr65]

How about Stevie Wonder,

He had some funk ***:

And Gladys Knight and The Pips !

A lovely classy soul voice !

 

[Mr. Shadow]

The Funk Brothers.

 

[DaKillerWolf]

Basically just War, Funkadelic ( and the off shoots ), & a few underground Psychedelic funk bands like Fuzz Demon for me.

 

[OptimisticFutureBlues]

The Meters
Parliament/Funkadelic
Sly and the Family Stone

This thread needs more Lionel Richie
