I know most of us were right there in the 70's.  How about Members posting a YT link for some favorites?

@Clayton, and some of us were right there in the 60's.

But, they say if you can remember the 60's, you weren't really there.

Funky Town by Lipps, Inc., performed by 3 disco mime dancing chicks. As far as Lipps, Inc., is concerned, these gals were certainly doing THAT.

@dan,

great you mentioned Funky Town 😊. Old memories are awakened. I haven’t thought about it anymore.

Thank you

Birgit

I didn’t have the bands „Earth, Wind & Fire“, „Parliament“, „Sly & the Family Stone“ and „The Meters“ on my radar before. No memories of my youth. I started listening to the greats of funk music only recently, when I began strumming 16th notes - not that long ago! But all the more enriching now for me.

IN TIME!  

And, @bluesiline, Cissy Strut is so beautifully simple but so hard to get just right!

I'm gonna have to add more to the fun. Here's a tune I've played live. I actually have a live recording of us playing it, but it's pretty lame compared to this:

You know I'm a big Prince fan. So I'm sharing this live clip with his band grooving hard on a very famous funk tune, followed up by a great tune of his own. Listen to how tight the groove is! This is LIVE. He was a funk master. Great, great guitar work here too. Listen closely. Heavy rocking!

I think it's so cool he was the only male in the band! He sure helped them get noticed on the music scene.
