Who do you turn to when you have the envies for funk?

Surprised this band hasn’t been mentioned yet -- they were very popular on the 1970’s concert scene and still active today:

Mother’s Finest

Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy and Glenn "Doc" Murdock could raise the roof belting out "Mickey’s Monkey", "Baby Love", "Burning Love", and some controversial songs that I can’t write the titles of lest some members report me.  They built a strong following opening up for the likes of Ted Neugent, Aerosmith, The Who, and Black Sabbath, blending Funky licks with kick-ass hard rock.

Check them out.

James Brown was mentioned before but check out his guy Maceo Parker on "Life on Planet Groove (Live)"

I think I will put it on now myself.

@allenf1963,

Not to mention MF being based out of Atlanta, GA and actually being described as  Southern Rock band with a ton of Funk. They didn't tour together but they did share the stage with The Allman Brothers from time to time. Can you even imagine that show!? To all you good folks here, I appreciate you keeping this thread going...

Stanley Clarke "School Days."

Glad to see there are so many likeminded funk fans out there. Who knew? I am still culling through some of the earlier more recognized funksters mentioned earlier and just love what I have been able to sample of the ones I never knew existed till you guys threw them my way. Thanks to all. Enjoy the music
