Some more....


Earth Wind And Fire's Been mentioned.. But this first album is one of their best..


Funky Stuff by Kool and the Gang was a big hit in the 70's..


Sly and the family Stone was known for this hit besides the populars..


Instant Funk was loads of fun..Disco maybe... But this song was a big hit after the disco days..


This one for sure...
