    After seeing Can's righteous "Halleluwah" posted above I'll assume it's not too far out there to post this.

    Magma - "Kobah" from Live/Hhaï

    Yes, good call. People seem to forget (or are not aware of it), but there were tons of white session musicians, producers and writers involved in many funk/R&B classics. The most famous of those arguably Steve Cropper and Donald 'Duck' Dunn, who played on dozens of iconic Stax releases.

    Dennis Coffey, white producer/arranger, who's best known for his scores of '70s B-films like Black Belt Jones.

    Great minds think alike, Rudolph!
    I vote for the Swampers of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Check out this Staple Singers classic:

    Some of the stuff cited so far without a mention of the hottest funk band of the last decade proves that almost no one must check out newer music.

    I like many of those already shared and would have trouble choosing a single one. So I’ll just muddy the water and post another I’m partial to.
