What is the Funkiest band/song of all time?

Videos and/or mp3s are extremely necessary for this one. Bring on the Funk!

Here's my vote:

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

James Joseph Brown, Jr. from my home state of South Carolina was and will always be the King of Funk!

Though his music had funky elements, I think he really is much more of a soul/R&B artist. Just one musician's opinion.

Although he's often referred to as the "Godfather of Soul," I don't think those two titles are mutually exclusive. Definitely one of the funkiest people ever!

This one wins in my book I think... as a Saxophone player I am a fan!

I was torn between this one, the AWB -- Cut the Cake, and Tower of Power -- Down To The Nightclub.

I'm an old keyboard player (B3) but I agree about the funkyness of the Clavinet.

I remember when Sly and the Family Stone songs came out, and man were they funky.

Anything with a clavinet is automatically funkier, think "Superstition" or "Use Me:"

Or if you want funky in the context of rock (classic rock specifically) there's always "Up on Cripple Creek:"

Remember, Funk was originally supposed to be raw and rock-driven, not the smooth disco-like sound that it evolved into years later.

JAMES BROWN, his entire body of work.

Anyone who answers this question without saying James Brown should have points taken away from them.

Who sings funk like no other... Chaka Khan... with a side of Rufus. Normally I get all wordy, but I'll let the Funky Diva do her stuff.
