Well, the Title says it al. I wanna know some more funk music. Can anyone recommend me some? NO DISCO THOUGH!!

I wish it wasn't morning and I didn't have to go to school right now, so I could respond to this thread. As it is, I don't have time, and it'll get eaten up by Satchmo or maybe Zola.

Yeah, save some for jazzfromhell guys!!

I don't do the over-indulgence, so I'll give you just a few of my immediate favourites and allow enough room for everyone to dig in. No worries, Jazz!

I really dig early BT Express. They had charm and of course could lay down some heavy grooves. Here's a sample:

You can't go wrong with Sly & The Family Stone:

Rufus "The Funkiest Man Alive!" Thomas has some chunky beats and can be real funny. Highly entertaining:

Jazzy, soulful, and funky, The Gaturs were stellar. Willie Tee was the man! *Edit(I just realized that this video has a Danny White tune at the end. Double funk for yer buck)

Camille Yarbrough released only one album, The Iron Pot Cooker, and my, my. It's more along the lines of soul, but it has a deep funk feel to it, especially in the basslines. You'll recognize this forgotten classic by a more famous song that samples it heavily:

For an excellent modern group who can funk with the best of them, The Budos Band on Daptone Records (my favourite contemporary label).
And I love this video because it has clips from one of my favourite classic Superman cartoons:
