for some true funkyness listen to THE METERS
it can only do you sooo good ;)

smoove & turrell, i can't give you up, single of the outstanding antique soul album,http://http://www.musicbanter.com/me...128ca8b0d8.jpg

eddie landsberg, who's roots are in soul jazz, rare groove, deep funk, claims to be semi retired, infact rarely performs these days,

Did they play with James Brown?

Or am I mixing them up with someone else

'MANA' is a spanish band out of California that my friends from the valley in southern Texas turned me on to, They are very soul & funk orientated. Check them out!

This Baby Charles album is pretty good.

Some great sounds in here! Here is my two penneth worth:

madcon, beggin', a mod classic givin' a modern twist, great stuff.

third degree, mercy, this is duffy's smash northern soul tune, givin' a funky rework, not bad eh!

Two good covers there goodfoot.
Madcon's Beggin' especially. I'm usually a big defender of original versions and pretty critical of covers, unless they stick to the script and respect the original artist, but I love Madcon's effort.

I keep hoping for someone to tackle Frankie's 'The Night' and do a top job with that one.
