@ChrisMayLA6 Really now? I'm just scrolling all the way down to the start of your #50DiscoClassics and there I find #funky50 ... that's almost even more tempting 👍

I guess I'll have to retire too to listen to all this #music and read your notes 🤣

In the hiatus between the #Funky50 & the start of #50DiscoClassics, you can fill the gap by having a look at previous recommendations from my extensive record collections:

There's 100 ProfDJ #KillerCuts

and if you wondering what jazz music might be interesting to listen to there's 50 tracks to explore at #JazzIntro

and while there is some crossover between the hashtags (some brilliant tracks appear under more than one heading), there's plenty to entertain yourself on a (here) rainy Sunday

The Funky 50 is finished...

There will now be a short break, before the next thematic daily blast from my record collection....

watch out for #50DiscoClassics which will get underway after the weekend.

As before it will feature suggestions from my record collection for your streaming shuffle....

But for now: 'I'm hitting it & quitting'....

#Funky50

50 funky tracks for your streaming pleasure, No.50

James Brown. Get up, I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine

So the Funky50 ends where it started with the Godfather of Soul & his urtext of funkiness, Sex Machine. The James Brown band delivers one of the greatest 5mins of funk ever. Its got that funky drummer, call & response vocals, stuttering guitar with that bubbling bass & a fabulously sparse production; yes 'the way I like it, that's the way it is'!

50 funky tracks for your streaming pleasure, No.49

The 24-Carat Black. Ghetto Misfortune's Wealth

This classic of sparse funkiness is a great bit of spacey stuttering grooviness. Driven by a subtle & sinewy rhythm, with a meandering horn arrangement & showcasing some conversational vocals, this doesn't quite sound like anything else I've been listing.

Those who like a bit of acid jazz will recognise this from a sample used by the Young Disciples on Step Right on.

50 funky tracks for your streaming pleasure, No.48

Johnny Guitar Watson. A Real Mother For Ya

Johnny Guitar Watson delivers a killer funky groove, with a fab rhythm arrangement & some great horn stabs alongside Watson's usually laid back vocals. Edging towards disco this retains the funkiness that typifies Watson's best work & if you like this, check out Superman Lover, his other funky masterpiece. What a groove!
