"Underrated or forgotten about Funk hits"


  

          

That One Way vs Zapp post has me thinkin...it's a whole, whole, whole lot of forgotten about Funk jams that you'd have to dig deep to know about or come across. Seems like Funk may be one Genre where the best songs aren't as known, aside from the obvious classics like "Flashlight."

Like this here...
Gap Band "Disrespect" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZWYoyaD_Ic - I randomly as hell came across this when someone mentioned Prince and Gap Band having a feud.

Or Prince "Sexy dancer" which isn't played nearly as much as his other party hits.

In that video.

My pick would be this monster; P-Funk All Stars - Pumpin' It Up: http://youtu.be/CAg3LVuJPvc

That whole album was ridiculous, its a shame that it wasn't promoted thoroughly.

Urban Dancefloor is underrated IMO.

I guess because it's funk-rock and people don't want that from EWF.

I haven't been able to shake this song since I heard it on Black Rock Coalition Radio in the early 90's.


Ohio Players - Sleep Talk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obit0BvKf9w

people just lump this song in with the whole: "Junie is/was great" sentiment, but it should be singled out for its own achievement of Junie and Sugarfoot teaming up vocally (I think) to do it right, like a team.


James Brown - take some leave some

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqb7rFmtKVM

people just lump this in with the: "the payback album is great!!!" sentiment, but it deserves its own recognition.
