The weekend of funkateering starts here! So whistles ready, because we're rump-shaking and booty-bumpin' to Funkadelic, Curtis Mayfield, Fred Wesley, The Meters and many more stars who are down on the one! It's Friday Night and we gotta Funk!
Your Friday Night Funk soundtrack mixes stars like Funkadelic and Curtis Mayfield with unsung heroes like Ground Hog and Backyard Heavies. Some of these tunes command major league dollars if you can find the originals; some don't but they are guaranteed to funk your Friday in just the same way. There are hardcore funk anthems and a touch of mellow soulfulness just to sweeten the mix. There are R&B legends like Lloyd Price and Ike Turner proving that they could funk just as black and strong as younger heroes of the era. There are sidemen like Fred Wesley and Maceo who had something to prove to their old boss in this instance James Brown. And there are soul brothers like Joe Tex, Bobby Womack and Lee Dorsey, who had that funky vibe without even trying.
