The Soul & Funk Music Recommendation Thread

The True Reflection's "Where I'm Coming From" album was reissued recently. Great harmonies remind me of the Temptations and the Four Tops.

Charles Walker & The Dynamites Love Is Only Everything

Fans of Wilson Pickett & Otis Redding should enjoy the new release from Walker. Both soulful & funky, the album is a bristling high energy affair. Bettye LaVette guests vocals on the duet, "Yours & Mine" though my favorite is the closer, "Please Open Up the Door".

Charles Bradley Victim of Love

His latest backed by the Menahan Street Band on Daptone. Album has a very soulful, Stax-records feel. Songs are a bit more joyful than on his previous release.

Jackie Moore's Sweet Charlie Babe was recently reissued. Found a cheap copy & enjoying it. Though she's a Southern, Florida based singer, her music has a Philadelphia soul sound.

I'm into Rock and Electronic (Including Techno, Speedcore, Dubstep, Breakbeat, and Dance) and looking to get into funkier stuff. Stuff that lies on the border between funk and rock (Not necessarily funk rock), or the border between electro and funk (Not commercial crap). Any ideas?

Hey guys, I can't for the life of me find enough songs that play slow sexy bass-lines in the higher range. Could you be as so kind to recommend artists/material where the bassist really makes the chords cry. Chur

Barry White was too cool!

Picked up a Jimmy Ruffin cd, Ruff 'n Ready, the other day. What a great voice. Too bad he stopped recording so long ago.

He was vegan too! to save his life, probably although it didn't work and IDK how long he was for.

Use a quote by Slow Groove. Or even better, use one of Urban Hatemongers post. He is a much more interesting person than I am.

I thought it was h i l a r i o u s, LMAO, but I'll take it off. Sheesh...
