If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck


Please leave your thoughts: love it, hate it, somewhere in between or indifferent? And I apologize for the bad dancing white guy in the video.

….OK, I finally got around to listening to Vulfpeck, thx to the last poster.  Wow, I couldn't make it through more than a minute of any of those 4 videos!  They sound like a high school band playing what they think passes for Funk.  Sorry, but I wouldn't even recommend that to a youngster.  Needed to cleanse my pallet with some 'Old Man Funk'!;)

…..aahhh, that's better!
  
….ok, here's just ONE more.  One of the most soulful collaborations this century is when Prince brought Maceo Parker (James Brown) and Larry Graham (Sly, Graham Central Station) into his band.  Fit like a hand in glove!  Larry released one record from this period, this tune's from it and it's greasy!

@veroguy Thanks for posting both the links and your thoughts. Welcome to the thread.
@aniwolfe Thanks for contributing.
Last night I listened to Cold Blood's Sisyphus album (1970). It contains "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)", a song written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, and made into a Top 20 Billboard hit in 1969 by Lou Rawls, although first recorded by Mable John in 1966. Others have covered it too. If you're interested in some different takes on this song (funk/soul/blues) see below:

IMO they all work pretty well.
