I think it is, eoe. I thought somebody more funk-savvy would have given you a definite answer by now, but since they haven't, I just wanted to say that I am pretty sure you are right. In case it was just driving you insane not knowing.
Play These in Your Car & Heads will Turn....Some groups are known for their Funk, but sadly listeners top picks are often the main stream hits ~~
TRY THIS LIST for True Funk......
Bar-Kays: Traffic Jammer, Do it, or She Talks to Me with Her Body
Cameo: Shake your Pants, Flirt, or I Like It
Bootsy Collins: Stretchin' Out, Bootzilla, Roto-Rooter, or Jam Fan
Sly & The Family Stone: In Time, Underdog, or If You Want Me To Stay
Ohio players: FOPP, or O-H-I-O
~~A Song that is a slightly differnent Genre (more Funk/Disco) but will have
you going for the ENTIRE 7:34 of the song is, Its Passion, by The System
@ghettobirdpilot,
good stuff...Bar-Kays...yeah
Speaking of the Bar-Kays: "Shake Your Rump to The Funk"

"Pain" is my personal favorite Ohio Players cut.
not "Pain". "Ecstasy". That's the cut"
@eoe,
it took you 6 years to get it right? hee hee
What about Earth, Wind and Fire?
@Gala,
EWF? Not a funky bone in their collective body.
@Gala,
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Earth, Wind & Fire and own lots of their music but, they aren't funk. Not by a long shot.
didn't it all start right here?
Get a load of Bobby Byrd...and those Flames...hmmmm
@eoe,
These are two of my favorites:
Dazz band: Let It Whip
and Fantastic Voyage: Lakeside (I love this lead guy - he must be sixty or seventy and he's still going and dancing - I love it- this is my favorite)
yeah aidan, I think the dazz band were layin the groundwork for current sounds. This one features George Clinton
@panzade,
Thanks for posting that Panzade- I'd never heard it and I really like it. I'm happy they all still sound ( and look) so good.
I think Mavis Staples has one of the best voices ever -another one by the staples singers :
let's see if eoe thinks this is funky
