Super Fly or Sly & the Family Stone's
Greatest Hits (Since the aren't album of the previous singles was never completed) should be no. 1.
No, War, Fatback, Mandrill, Slave, Dyke & the Blazers, or Baby Huey's one album?

They were neither grand, funk, or a railroad. But their name is a play on the name of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad.

Lists are never complete and never can find two people to agree but Curtis Mayfield in his prime and Sly, plus the Bar Kays and others are standouts of the era. People like Buddy Miles were working under the radar but influencing others.
They all carved out a piece of musical history that should be remembered.
Thanks for the article post.

First thing I looked for was Prince and RHCP. Good list!
Didn’t do a word search for James Brown and/or Sly - cuz they’re a given.

No Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch?

Grand Funk Railroad was amazing, but not a funk band.
Not even close.

Robert Cristgau gives Rufus bad reviews to Rufus because “white people shouldn’t play funk.”
To: nickcarraway
What the devil you say? They’re not funk but their Live! album is a masterpiece

Actually, listen to I'm Your Captain/Closer to Homes and Bad Time, they are good.

Lee Fields, played drums behind him in the 90s. He was living in Plainfield, NJ back then and was making records out of his basement. We were traveling from St. Louis to Tex Arkana, TX when the brand new van breaks down on the border of Missouri and Arkansas right in front of a road side hotel and a road sign that said dry county ahead. We were stuck there for two days. So glad we didn’t break down in that next county.
