So far I've found a lot of my funk collection is generic with no "special sauce" that makes them stand out.

And I've already posted the James Brown style funk I have.

But I will keep posting my faves as I come across them while reviewing them whenever I drive...

James Brown is the Godfather of Funk for good reason. Its tough to stand out over he and his crew.
