All things funk belong here.:AOK:
I've had the pleasure of working with many good funk bands and it is just bloody infectious music. It's fun to play, gets your booty shakin' and everyone has a good time.
I thought I'd start with a classic: Was Not Was - Walk The Dinosaur

There is a little youtube button top right on the posting window. Click on it and it will put the youtube code tags in the posting window. Only copy the letter/number string in the youtube URL after the = sign and paste it between the youtube code tags.

Moshe, you got one of my all time favorites - Jungle Boogie. Kool & the Gang had another funk hit I liked - "Hollywood Swinging". Here it is:
