The maters best 'vocal' album without a doubt

Not Prince's best ever record but from his 'funk' days its the one
HellHell by James Brown

Inconsistent but I put it here cos not many people know (or sell) this one. Its best tracks, around half of it are amazing.Classic Mr Brown
Get Up with ItGet Up with It by Miles Davis

Not straight funk by any means but there are elements there. I would call it extreme hardcore funk (jazz to others).my fav miles 70's album
Machine GunMachine Gun by The Commodores
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £4.64
Hardly pushing any boundaries but if you want straight up energy filled cheesy (but good cheese!) groovin' you cant beat this
