Hope noboyd would complain for reviving this thread - just discovered it, being enjoying so much and wanted to give my small contribution

Sade can melt your heart if she wants too - or groove hard

His name (used to be?) Prince and he's indeed funky

Joss Stone - kinda of a mainstream act, but this's a nice slow one. Pretty girl too :)

Not going to hear any clomplaints for revising this one, esp when you post these! Never understood the Sade bashing that went on after she was succesful. Always loved that Stevie song, but yes, at last a version that takes away the cheese.

My current bee in the bonnet - why weren't these guys bigger:

Happy new year! And here's some more groovy goodness to celebrate 2011

In terms of pure groovines, the mighty Bernard Edwards is hard to beat - this modern remix does him justice
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkClQxmMpjY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkClQxmMpjY[/url]

one of many Prince funky nuggets - Josh Dunham is on fire on this track
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35tKpiJHOZo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35tKpiJHOZo[/url]

Jamiroquai - live with Nick Fyffe - nuff said :)
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzIxyKSzdP0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzIxyKSzdP0[/url]

Erykah Badu - satin voice on top, sublime basswork on the bottom
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcdjVJcvCgk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcdjVJcvCgk[/url]

Maxwell - only a whole-song ostinato going on here, but a it's a delicious one

I've got a couple of the Dimitri from Paris remix albums, the "Get Down with the Philly Sound" is really good :)

This is a bit of a fave:

Takes a while to get going but it always puts a smile on my face :)

How does he keep that bass line sounding so good for over 10 minutes - my fingers would have fallen off in half that time!

OK - so I wrote this whilst still listening to it - he gets a bit of a break after about 7 minutes worth of funkin', lol

Youtube is a true goldmine...so here's a few more personal favourites

Moloko performing their huge club hit live - that guitar hook is blissfully irrestible IMHO
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvd4Nz-Pr7o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvd4Nz-Pr7o[/url]

Prince seems very active in removing his internet videos but they're well worth the effort (note Maceo & Candy in the brass section)
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xsRqlESaOk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xsRqlESaOk[/url]

talking about Maceo, here's one of its audience pleaser - having Dennis Chambers on drums sure doesn't hurt
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUcGAzrMAQI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUcGAzrMAQI[/url]

another Maceo staple, this time with Kenwood Dennard behind the kit
[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwcH5fvFQ0M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwcH5fvFQ0M[/url]

Candy Dulfer covering a classic track - seems faster than the original, but very groovy nonetheless
