[quote=“Funk500”]70’s/80’s night.
A stupid fucking invention where idiots who work in the pub just play the same Abba/ Dexy’s Midnight Runners/ The Village People shite, they have been playing all week under the illusion that tonight is in any way different.
Ironic students who go to the same events.[/quote]
With a name like Funk500, I thought you’d LIKE 70’s music. Wasn’t that when funk peaked?
Lookin’ at your avatar, I say you’re a 60’s kind o’ guy.

70’s funk and the like are a far cry from the stuff I’m talking about. People would often confuse my liking for das funk, my white-boy afro, fantastic sideburns and goatee for a mark of the ironic and the “Yes I like 70’s music too, Abba, YMCA etc” brigade grrrr.
funkwise- '68-'73 is the best era (like the best rock) of course there were fantastic records outside those 5 years…

Any good clips of George Clinton - We Want the Funk? I haven’t found any.
Or other great funk clips that must be seen and heard?
[quote=“zender”]Or other great funk clips that must be seen and heard?[/quote]Bit of a Carlinhos Brown fan, myself. Though I realise that’s quite a way away in terms of time and geography.

To name a few 
Wow! Great stuff guys!
Joe,
That Carlinos Brown is nice. I like Brazilian Portuguese more than any other language.
Funk,
I like this old rare stuff even better. I tend to appreciate music that’s not overproduced.
It seems like all those tracks have drums front and center.
I like the last song the best because of the great vocals (male and female)
Second best, Larry Ellis . . . has a cool build and great groove (and I wish I could dance like that).
Third . . . Frankie . . . sax and drums make this one.
and 4th . . . Bad Medicine- cool keyboards and drums.
Honestly! I like every song!
Glad you enjoyed them. Seriously, we’d be here all blinking week if I broke out my funky archives.
If there’s one thing I know about its rare funk 45s and I can bore the back legs off a donkey with it.

Funk500, I really like that tune in your current signature:
