Before there was Pastorius... there was Clarke. (Barely before. Both born in 1951.)

Edit in: speaking of Pastorius...

Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band: Play That Funky Music

AWB: Play That Funky Music

That vid is mislabeled. The band that did that original verison of "Play That Funky Music" was Wild Cherry. Not the AWB.

^^ Thanks for catching this; I don't like crediting the wrong folks. Especially artists and musicians.

The edit button on my prior post has disappeared in the meantime (how many hours do we get for pentimento, anyway?) so your correction will stand for the record.

Wild Cherry it is -- and thx again.

Zapp - I Can Make You Dance (1983)

*This is electro-funk, (aka electro), but I had to include it because it is very funky, plus Zapp and Roger Troutman are amazing!

Gil Scott-Heron: The Bottle

Hi LegoMaster - this is about equal parts jazz and funk, but GSH was such a genius I have to share it.

(Edit in: ^^ wow that vid from Zapp is great!)(And again: Oh jeez, I used to dance to Cutie Pie with one of my cats. Who loved it.)

Holy cr*p! Just about jumped off my chair. I recognized this! Only heard it once, and a while back. It stuck. Too bluesy for Benson, not his voice, but that scatting with the guitar and the parallel octaves seriously messed with my head. Thank you!
