+1

To learn a genre, start at the beginning and then work from there. To the list above, I would add Parliament Funkadelic, Rufus & Chaka Khan, the Isley Brothers, Ohio Players, Labelle, and Confunkshun.

Oh, and checkout Bootsy Collins. He invented and defined the funk bass sound. He was the bassist for James Brown in the 60's and Parliament Funkadelic in the 70's. He formed Bootsy's Rubber Band, and they backed Deee-lite on one of their world tours.

For a second I looked at the title of this thread and thought I was on adultfriendfinder somehow.
