The Funkadelics....without a doubt.
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

Lots of great suggestions on this thread and I’m sure my playlist will grow from it. |
You have to fully understand the hidden meaning of the song "Brick House" to fully appreciate it.

Historically, outdoor toilets (outhouses ) were cheap, temporary wooden shacks meant to be moved once the latrine pit filled up. An outhouse constructed with actual bricks was a highly unusual, permanent structure built to last. Therefore, being compared to a "brick shithouse" means someone is incredibly tough, well-constructed, and strong.
The Commodores could not title a song so they shortened it to "Brick House". I’ve heard MANY bands perform this song live, and when they do, a band member always chimes in,
