Am I wrong, or was all that music coming from just a trio? (Plus four great singers, of course!)

Love that video. One of my fav songs to cover.
Love that tune, that groove is killer too...
and since the title of the the thread is ‘Bring on the funk!’, I’ll bring this one to the fore, because Gadson grooves like nobody’s business:

I somehow saw this before, (Pointer Sisters) and enjoyed as if I hadn't. GREAT stuff.

Purdie solo -- simple in concept - but the feel/soul is so greasy good.

That "live" clip of Sex Machine is is well edited, but the audio is from the studio version. Once the vocals come in, it's obvious. I've always been pretty bad at suspending my disbelief when it comes to studio music presented as live in a video context, but still nice to see the man and the band in action!

This has been one of my favoritte vieos for years. Gadson is just the king of smooth and effortless pocket. Just freaking ridiculous how deep this one is..

Funk-rockers Mother's Finest. One of my bands opened for them. They were super nice to us and brought the house down.

I usually prefer the down and dirty 70's funk to the modern stuff. Although there are a lot of good contemporary acts that pay tribute to the old school sound pretty convincingly like Budos band, The new mastersounds, Monophonics, Ikebe Shakedown, and a few others... Lettuce is a band that is a little too much on the modern end of the funk spectrum for my taste, but the first time I heard them was this song and Dang! It is a scorcher. Subtlety and restraint be damned, these guys go to 11 !!!!
Will pack the dance floor every time
