This world needs more funk. We need to once more celebrate the diversity of afros, platform shoes, bellbottom disco pants and giant sunglasses. Our funky heritage can not be allowed to go by the waysaid.

For more information, listen to such funky classics as:

Hold On - Ian Thomas
Free - Chicago
Theme to Undercover Brother
Ladies Night - Kool & the Gang
Fight the Power - Isley Brothers
Cloud 9 - The Temptations
The Nazz

Throw in anything by Rufus, George Clinton and the Parliament Pfunkadelic, and Bootsy Collins for good measure.

Don't forget Electrofunk!

Freakaholic - Egyptian Lover
Al Nayfish - Hashim
Anything by Newcleus
Planet Rock - Afrika Bambatta and Soulsonic Force

Hip-Hop innovators like Pretty Tony, Kurtis Blow, Kool Herc, Grandmasterflash & The Furious Five. All early hip-hop heavily used funk samples and revived The Funk in the world's consciousness.

I'll take some Ronny Jordan (http://www.ronnyjordan.com/ronny/ronnyjordan.html) "The Jackal" any day.

or

The tasty garageband.com (http://www.garageband.com/) funk delight "Funk Bus (http://www.garageband.com/song?|pe1|S8LTM0LdsaShZVmzYg)" by The Band that Saved the World (http://www.tbtstw.com/index.php[/url).

Even though funk is alive and well, we should continue the struggle to bring the funk from the past to the masses.

Power to the Funk!

Funk...the world needs to get a little more funky, relieve some of that tension.

Speaking of tension, am I the only one who remembers that old Rage Against the Machine song "Renagades of Funk"? That takes me back...
