from time to time the i man enjoys the sounds of funk music in between di roots chunes. even better is when they merge into a heady groove inna both styles. i dont care much for the pop funk of third world or chalice, but a nice rootsy blend does nicely.
what are some of your favorite sets or songs that have a heavy funk influence?
...this thread comes to mind as i listen to this tappa set...several very funky tunes without being too cheesy ya'know...

No one's ever done it better than Toots. Any of his albums has that soul/funk/reggae thing that blends them all together into one perfect sound.

Those who dig for records regularly know that just because a song title has "funk" or "funky" in the title doesn't mean it is so.

It all comes down to each person's interpretation. Potatoe Potato
If you refer to the Studio One I listed, well I think it is. Now it is not Parliment or old school American funk, but it will do!
