Hmmm, Michael McDonald not 'groove'?
Witness for the defence, m'lud! :lol:
(This is a good Youtube post too, if you want those chords).



And here's M.M. with the *other* best voice in Soul... :lol: :rolleyes:
(plus, you can't really go wrong with Nate East and Steve Gadd on bass and drums :) ).


(There's also a nice alternate version of 'Ya Mo B There' with Abe Laboriel on bass, Lee Ritenour on guitar, etc.) Edited by Dad3353

I used to play along all the time to this album, 'The Aura Will Prevail' (MPS/BASF).
Vintage George Duke from 1975. Still some of his best stuff (imo). Alphonso Johnson on bass.

Floop De Loop - (you can really hear the Zappa influence here! :) )


For Love (I Come Your Friend)

I kind of get wound up about the "Groove" thing. Nowadays i think its just a by-word for funky. Anything can have groove without it being funky. Even sections of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring have good grooves. i think through naivety (tho this doesn't obviously apply to everyone) mid tempo funk/jazz gets described as having a good groove. Though good groove can be at any tempo or genre for example Kashmir by Zep has a fat groove even tho its straighter than straight. Also some really quick stuff like The One or Outta love by Van Halen has a great groove. i ain't just a bitter rocker cos i love funk, jazz and fusion but thats just so obvious to mention. However my example is a James Brown track at a high tempo. Can't get enough of it at the moment and it as a bad donkey groove! It's Let me looose i'm Dr. Feelgood. unfortunately i can't upload my copy so i've included a youtube link. but it has a picture of semi naked men for some reason, tho its the original track

Totally agree with you. When I started the post I invited grooves of any genre whatsoever. I personally love funk, hence my choices, but let's see some more obscure examples. Edited by Dad3353

Me too geezer! However the main thing that hooks me on a groove is how filthy it is. The filthier the better!

Here's one! A bit different and quite heavy. Not a funky groove but a groove nevertheless. in terms of drums and bass playing everything together this is a fine example. they hit nearly everything and there is loads of poly rhythms. However tunes is very cheesy rock. So apologies on that level. but the drummer is my favourite. i would rip my pink torpedo off to jam with him! is that a bit extreme!
