Post an obscure funk track...

I heard this killer funk tune I had never heard before and thought I would start a thread where you can post cool but obscure funk tunes and hopefully discover something interesting!

Here is my starting tune...

Leroy & The Drivers - The Sad Chicken

 

You're Not The Only One - Robert Palmer, yes it's funky!

 

Here's one I have by the Chocolate Chips, "There You Are"

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong: I think that the only people for whom this is NOT obscure are bass players. The Reddings - The Awakening.

 

The Us - Let’s Do It Today

 

Poets Of Rhythm - Practice What You Preach

The Poets OF Rhythm Practice What You Preach

 

Funkasupafly one, two, three, hiddit.....ugh!

 

Love this one

 

The Honey Drippers- Impeach The President



I won't go into the politics, but if reissued, it would probably sell a bunch in the USA

 

9th Street Exit- 9th Street

 

Act One - Tom The Peeper

 

Skull Snaps- Al's Razor Blade

 

The Rance Allen Group - Talk That Talk

 

70s Colombia. Groovy bass, horns, analog synths, percussion, pseudo-African chanting... what more do you need?

 

This was the only commercially released single by the second Mahavishnu Orchestra, 'Can't Your Funk' (in 7/8 time, I believe):

 

Mel Brown - Chicken Fat

 

Edwin Starr - Easin' In

 

@Colin H
Good pick! I raise you Mahavishnu Orchestra - Planetary Citizen as sampled by Massive Attack for Unfinished Sympathy.

 

Not sure how obscure it is but I love it!

Black Heat - The Jungle

 

I'm not that knowledgeable about Funk, so not sure if this is obscure General Caine - Get Down Attack, it looks like you have to go to YouTube to hear this gem

 

Just found this killer thread on this very forum! Lots of good stuff on here.

Obscure 70's songs with a funky beat that make you want to groove

 

Reminds me of another 70s jazzrock outfit that could funk with the best:

 

From their very underrated last album:

 

I concede - you've outfunked me! MO bass player Ralphe Armstrong (the writer of Planetary C) put his kids through college on the proceeds of legal redress around the sampled use of his track in at least three hits.
