THREAD PLAYLIST HERE: https://music.fyad.club/playlist/3990580 hi. do you think funk sounds like porn music? do you think it features slap bass and star shaped sunglasses? get educated. drat. do your 80s p-funk thread elsewhere. that's not what i wanna post in this thread. let's keep it stylistically pre-1978. it's fine if it's a recent song, but we don't need that coke drip slap bass poo poo here. i come at funk and soul from a 90s hip hop breakbeats background so there's a lot of like keb darge deep funk compilation type stuff in my head canon. but come, join me, as we post funk and soul music. i love the meters, the second, new orleans lodestar of funk opposite james brown, so here's some meters/meters-backed tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXI5Nuz6OHg apparently 'hand clapping song' is in a load of tv shows and ads, according to the youtube comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVdAfjxmfdI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh3cygQeZ1E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6aEQJwM1g4 drat i am realizing i could fill a thread just with new orleans funk. anyway here's a track from a show in 1968 where james brown's band basically played a full-rear end concert in like double time. maybe mr please please really had to poo poo and told the band to add 50 bpm to everything to get the concert over with. clyde stubblefield's drumming on this gives me chest pain to listen to (and repetitive stress injury to attempt to play on the drums). he is going so mad on the kit it sounds like drum and bass/ragga jungle chops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek9-HGHT1Pk the memphis bulldog mr. rufus thomas had a weirdass career trajectory of being old as hell (he started out as a minstrel!!! in 1936) and suddenly having hit funk records. he made like 15 'funky chicken/penguin/robot' type songs that are pretty much identical but they all are bops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OWjDK-dLCU galt macdermot - white guy pianist who made unbelievable atmospheric and moody funk tracks and wrote the soundtrack to the musical HAIR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGprqs2rcRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikgvEKANy00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMsnnH7Tu34 current detroit band will sessions' bassist getting loose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYX03jeqjus S.O.U.L. - burning spear. just proof that flutes can be funky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYD3nVoGaz0 and to slow it down, here's a straight soul song that has been getting me verklempt recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fuwd7_z5v0Y who else is into this stuff? i could post approximately 1 million songs and variations on the genre so i'll leave it here for now. surprise me doodes. show me SA has some soul.

maybe i didn't put enough serious soul singing in the OP so here's a duo of baby huey joints... a 400+ pound guy who was a loving fantastic singer and probably would have hit it big if he hadn't died super young from being 400+ pounds eatin spam and eggrolls and drinkin thunderbird baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMIzTh0Lafg a change is gonna come, psychedelic 9 minute cry of pain version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLckDjm3inI

DOPE FIEND KILLA G posted:this is clean af ok just to demonstrate how deep my poo poo goes, you singled this track out and i was like "ok time to load up my list of buzz-flute wreckers" so here's half a dozen more flute funk burners. gird your loins this song shows how deep poo poo could get, when you can listen to this and not think it's comical but actually that it loving slaps and the flute screaming technique is cool, you have made it to the mountaintop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCU_doRTHtc pucho and the latin soul brothers... i suspect harold alexander was the flautist on this one too, and maybe the next. pucho was a Black dude but his band was pretty much latin funky boogaloo which is a whole nother multi-track, maybe even multi-part post... the fractal funk thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JzV2GpG5nM nice flute here but stick around for the drum breaks so heavy that actually break up the 1 inch fat tape they recorded this on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHKyFXKvdv0 production library music... a lesser known vein of great instrumentals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6r4_5tx0Q4 johnny harris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyR6rzx6XJY a "sure shot", you might say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etOrYtQ3EGc and here's a modernish one from around 2001 for good measure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZJdSCt5OVI i'll be back to this thread later... till then...

Darondo's from Berkeley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZqQT5904_U eugene blacknell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCeTxUjRyE8 people talk a lot about tower of power as the classic east bay sound, but I think they are pretty singular rather than representative of a movement in the bay. you can hear a little TOP feel in the eugene blacknell above, maybe. still you should probably hear this. one of the few funk bands to stress virtuosity and not sound FAKE as hell. stay away from super skilled white jam bands playing funk music. funk is not chops music. it's butt music. butt in recording quality, butt in vocal smoothness, butt in arranging simplicity, sometimes literally butt in skill level of the musicians. but the kind of butt you WANT. butt that makes your butt move. anyway, Tower of Power is not that, they're super tight and sometimes complex arrangements and rhythms. They are the EXCEPTION to the funk rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAatPPEaZDA

Are we doing funk roots like Herbie?? please post heliocentrics and natural yogurt band and the mark of 4 and i marc 4 (two different bands) and italian policier soundtracks and the first half of 'chameleon' before we start the getting icky jazz chords in there. BUT don't get too jazzy or i will pull out the nuclear weapon, the funk antijazz antimatter (salt hung up). actually i might just post the salt anyway pre-emptive strike style. you can't be too careful. if you let them some guys will start posting like chick corea or some poo poo. do not do this. i have more in my arsenal. Salt - Hung Up. Legendary New Orleans garage funk. Played intentionally sloppily to the chagrin of cosimo matassa (legendary nola soul record producer, they recorded at his studio). Doesn't sell for poo poo. A young german man who founded one of the only good white funk bands ever, the poets of rhythm, is on a bus trip through the states in 1993 and finds a box of copies of the 7 inch single at some guys house. he only has enough money for five copies. he goes back to louisiana the next year and the box has been thrown out, making this song insanely rare but ALSO loving great. Listen to how hosed up and sloppy this is. It's great. ZERO CHOPS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdgdUll95_w

plogo posted:four goodass songs oh poo poo! nice post. all good stuff i haven't heard before. the gospel track is bananas and that honey and the bees reminds me i was gonna post this. like that one it's female soul vocals with tough, ribcage-caving-in drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyxtXVsLfuQ while the drummer here sounds 100% exactly like the one-of-a-kind zigaboo modeliste from the meters (see the first four tracks of the OP), it is in fact james black just absolutely biting him to a level of perfection that shouldn't be possible. i have heard zero other songs with drumming like this that aren't zigaboo drumming.

while there's a million directions to take this thread outside of what's been posted, i just had an extended foray through the meters' first three albums. i know i posted a couple in the OP but the meters rule so who cares. so minimal but the perfect arrangement every time. these particular ones are mellow, sit back and sip a beverage songs because that's what i was doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRdwzpuiC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDFL2ilM-5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv36CcFcB8Y and finally a cover of tiny tim's tiptoe thru the tulips... yes... nod your head like a back pack hip hopper at a busdriver show in 2003 to 'tiptoe thru the tulips'. don't believe it? listen and see! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-7Uh_qVW5k
