Something like this or a bit more funky?
Cooper Butler
A ton of blaxploitation soundtracks. Try Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man, he only sings on one song.
Jacob Martinez
I'm not liking this one as much as the OP.
Thanks.
Grayson Moore

KC and the Sunshine Band is also pretty underrated. Personally I like Mayfield the most because his voice is damn smooth and fits the slower music in his song perfectly, but I still like and liste to artists and bands such as RJ, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Kool and the Gang etc.

Tales From the Tour Bus made me gove Rick a chance and im glad it did.
Isaac Powell
Hot damn, Street Songs is an incredible album. I think Rick's only problem is that Prince came along.
Tyler Johnson
Phish's '97 funk grooves > everything
Noah Diaz

Would it be fair to call Dr. Dre the most important post-80's funk musician?
Nolan Cox
Isn't dr. Dre's music more about rap than funk? Ofc there are funk influences but I wouldn't call it funk music.
James Lopez
Curtis is the GOAT, his 60s soul stuff with the Impressions is good too
Also this might be a blasphemous opinion but I kinda like the Massive Attack version of that song better
Eli Phillips
Yea but the point is that for all intents and purposes funk ran its course by the 90's and Dre innovated by releasing the Chronic and mutated it into something new.

Well I think funk has sadly kinda died. I mean you still have old school guys but not that many new musicians who produce that classic funk music anymore.
