For a while, Dayton Ohio was the funkiest town in America spawning Zapp & Roger, Slave, Lakeside, Heatwave and of Course the Ohio Players....

Was going to go with "A blind man can see it", but I think this is the more prototypical funk song...

James Brown - The Big Payback

And since it seems New Orleans favorite Funk band the Meters is a popular choice, I'll throw my favorite Meters song in there.

Hand Clapping Song


Playing this one live as a DJ was always a love/hate experience. People always like it (and not many people out here know it). But folks ALWAYS mess up tying to clap to it...

To be honest tho, I usually played this one that samples the Meters instead of the orginal...

The Nextmen - Round of Applause.

Don’t know how to post a link, but another from Rufus / Chaka Khan:
You Got The Love

Funk has to have a bass line that will restructure your heart rhythm

That may also be the best vocal performance by the Hardest Working Man in Show Business.....
