Post an obscure funk track...

The Aristocrats - Don't Go

Released in 1974 on the Rondo label out of Louisville/Kentucky.

Deep funk at its best, with amazing and fiery vocals by singer Linda Blakely.

 

George and crew with Ruth Copeland, funky, early p funk,

 

Markus Kelly & The Impassions - Pushin' to the Top

Mid-west funk, released on the White Eagle label in 1968.
I do not know anything about Markus Kelly & The Impassions.

 

I love the show Atlanta and the fact that Donald Glover tends to use obscure funk/hip hop/soul/jazz in most of the episodes. In one episode he used a song by Curtis Mayfield called When Seasons Change and I liked it so I looked it up. He used Sweet Little Girl by Stevie Wonder in another episode.

 

BLO have some great tracks spread across their albums, this is From their later period, the amazingly titled Bulky Backside!

 

Fugi - Mary, Don't Take Me On No Bad Trip

 

Over Night Low - The Witch Doctor

Soul-funk from Milwaukee/Wisconsin in a James Brown style.
Junior & The Classics were headed by Junior Brantley who later played with Jimmie Vaughan and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Stacy Lane - Funky Little Train

Flipside of "No Brags Just Facts", released on Excello in late 1968.

Don't know nothing about Stacy Lane, other than that he released two singles on Excello under the supervision of Ray Harris in 1968. The year before he had released his debut single "No Ending" on the Memphis/Tennessee Bar label.

 

Excellent record, fortunately someone on Youtube posted about its subject matter... the Jackson State shootings in Mississippi in 1970. I'm hugely interested in both funk and protest songs and this is a fine example of both.

 

Flight - "No More Part Time Lovin'"

 

Charles Leonard - A Funky Driver on a Funky Bus

Released on the San Francisco Loadstone label in 1971.

 

Bobby Williams and His Orchestra - Funky Super Fly

Released on Duplex Records in 1973.
The artist is hailing from Orlando/Florida.

 

Well, it's his BDay, but Cloreen Bacon Skin is one of Prince's funkiest though little known (or liked) tracks. I LOVE it. When the bass kicks in it's hot. When the high hat starts it's fire.

 

The Unforgettables - Too Much Trouble

This group only released one single on the San Francisco Loadstone label in 1974.
"Too Much Trouble" is the flipside of "Sad Song".
Bay area funk galore!

 

From 1977, John Tropea's "The Funk You See Is The Funk You Do"":

 

One more, this from The Brecker Brothers in 1975:
"If You Want To Boogie, Forget It":
