i love the funk sound but i honestly dont know that many funk type bands.
of course there is parliament funkedelic. bootsy collins. probably one of the greatest bass players of all time.
Well mostly Funk turned into Disco and pretty much died out in the 'popular' genres. To hear a good contemporary Funk vibe requires listening to
jazz. I have heard some really good funk on KJazz but don't recall the artists or albums/CDs.
