Yes, the Ramsey Lewis Sun Goddess album. Some sophisticated funk right there. Good listening. :)

Sun Goddess was new to me. It's nice!

Oh man, this takes me back — I had that Ramsey Lewis album on constant repeat in high school!

Yes! James Gadson!

Tomo

Such a good song!

Nice very fun fact.

Great song. Love the electric guitar playing throughout.

Thank you Jeff! You know.... there are 3 versions of Just Funky!

Tomo

Now.. Just Funky, is way Funky in all kinds of funky goodness. Stay Funky Tomo!! :)

Thanks so much Johno!!

Tomo

Nice, thank you for sharing. I did not know there are 3 versions of Just Funky. Wow

Yes Serena! It's true!
3 wonderful official versions of Just Funky :-)
Kurt

The "Just Funky" from 1996 album "Put on Your Funk Face" that Jeffrey posted here.
Also:

"Just Funky 2006" from the 2007 album Right Place, Right Time:

"Just Funky" from 2019 album "Blue Sky"

YES!

Lay down and boogie and play that funky music till you die.

Mighty, mighty!

Thanks Andy!
Love this.
William "Bootsy" Collins on bass!
Kurt

Good one - new to me. I do dig the trombone solo.

Love that bass work! Pretty funny. There was a whole new funk scene in the late 80's / early 90s. I think RHCP kind of started it, though they diverged later. Have you heard Dag or Royal Crescent Mob? Those are the ones I remember.

Red Hot Chili Peppers I think of as rock but see what you mean. Never heard dag or royal crescent mob this is all new for me!

Love this one - thanks for turning me on to Dag, Clay!

I like! Feels like Saturday Night!
I wonder how Rufus sounds like that without his wah pedal :-)
Kurt

Tell me something goo-aooood!

So cool to see that guitar in action!

"Rufus used a Heil Talk Box with his Fender Musicmaster guitar to achieve his signature vocal-like guitar effects."

Kurt

Oooooohh faster tempo!
I’m guessing that performance is some years after the video Clay posted.
So good.

Oh yes! Thank you, Clay.
That bass! My sub-woofer is awake and smiling.
RIP Bernie Worrell!
Kurt
