Guys I'm getting into Marvin Gaye and I really fucking love him right now. Who else should I try?
Raphael Saadiq, Terry Callier, Eugene McDaniels, Curtis Mayfield and perhaps Prince

Sam Cooke
top 5 current funk bands
New Mastersounds
The Getup
Jungle Fire
Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators (have to put this here since I´m from Finland)
Breakestra
Might be a different list tomorrow. Just so many great funk bands atm.
Why isn't this kind of music talked about more? Is it because it's popular and black?
>>50314829
It's because it doesn't have any subgenres
>>50314810
Nice, never usually see anyone talking modern funk like these, heard this?

>>50314829
Its not reviewed by Pitchfork or Fantano and Scaruffi is a racist.
>>50314829
Hip-Hop is already there to suply the R&B needs
>>50314886
>Its all made by black people so it all sounds the same
>>50314859
Yes I have. I actually own the 2 seven inches they released. They still containt the best songs. Just love the Fela Kuti cover (comencemos)
Couple of good modern funk compilations here from the archive.
Craig Charles (yes that guy from Red Dwarf and Corrie)

Yes! Craig Charles is the shit!
>>50314998
You can buy their album from juno downloads or listen to it via spotify. Sorry, but no idea where to dl it for free...
>>50315089
thanks! i'll buy it from juno downloads
>>50314681
Gil Scott-Heron - Pieces of a Man
Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul
If you like funk, reggae and afrobeat I recommend that you check out http://www.parisdjs.com/ . They have lots of free dl albums also!
The still small funk scene in europe is growing fast! Too bad New Mastersounds migrated from GB to USA before I got to see them live.
Top soul/funk single compilations, /mu/? Obscurity is preferred. I don't want to double dip.
>>50315301
Dunno any but the ones ITT and the main Motown ones etc
I'd heartily recommend the entirety of Tyrone Davis' discography (there's a compilation album, 'The Ultimate Tyrone Davis', which is actually a fantastic representation of his work). Also take a look at Regional Garland if you haven't already; Raphael Saadiq obviously; Anthony Hamilton's earlier albums; Jose James' two recent records if you like D'Angelo...
I've got to rush off anyway but I'll post some more specific/obscure stuff later on.
>>50314571
Is that a picture of chuck berry?
what do you guys think of kimbra?
considering shes a fusion of soul and funk
What are some other labels for modern stuff like Freestyle Records and Daptone Records?
>>50316139
Not bad, prefer nu soul singers like Kinny, Andreya Triana, Skye, Alice russell, Kylie Auldist, I should listen to more Kimbra probably

I'm not that much into funk/soul/rnb, i know the basics, but man, I am so grateful for posts like this. I follow soulful house mostly, tried searching for modern soul things myself but i hit the wall every time and give up.
Thanks Anon, you made a person happy.
>>50316381
No problem, turnys upload not mine
You should have a look on discogs at labels like Daptone, Ubiquity Records, Dunham, Rawking Cuts and similar.
