Who do you turn to when you have the envies for funk?
FYI, envies, pronounced on-vees, is a cajun term for when you have the need, wants or have to haves for something usually food or music. As I cull and play grade my vinyl collection I am not so very surprised by how much funky music has made its way into my collection and thought it would be interesting to see who others go to for their funk. My go to artist for the most part are War, The Meters, Professor Longhair, Earth Wind and Fire, Sly the Family Stone, J Geils/Peter Wolf, George Clinton, James Brown, and Curtis Mayfield for the most part. Please add yours as I am always looking to get more funk in my life. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the music

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 |

I never saw MF with the Allman Brothers, but I did see them a few times with some VERY varied acts. Back in the wonderful 1970's when concerts were shows with 3 or 4 bands and promoters tried to give fans a good bang for the buck. I saw a lot of headliners get blown off the stage by up and coming acts -- REO Speedwagon especially. Their management booked two tours they regretted: one with Judas Priest right as "Sad Wings of Destiny" and "Sin After Sin" were getting popular and another with Rainbow after "Rising" with released. Bad news for REO!
