Stowy 942 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Found this Tribute page to JJ... great stuff and footage there! EDIT: btw @justgimmethefunk, can ya add Stevie Wonder's Do I Do to the list? it does deserve a place on the list! Thanks for the weblink. For such a bass icon there is very little in the way of resources or merchandise related to JJ. Methinks that it may have something to do with the family? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
albatross213 4,681 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Now that there's a genres subsection of the forums, it probably makes sense to reproduce the main post over there. Thanks for being one of the first (and probably most extensive) listings of a genre on here! 1 Quote My CDLC releases and my workshop My CDLC previews (Lots of bass only stuff) Join us at the Rocksmith Championship!

justgimmethefunk 1,188 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I joined a new band recently, learning/practicing the new songs takes most of my free time and I just can't maintain this thread any longer. So I will gladly pass the torch to anyone who's willing to keep the soul/funk list updated 4 Quote (Click me) ** See my releases and WIP here **Pink Floyd DLC listQueen DLC listThe Beatles DLC list Link to post Share on other sites
Aludog 2,645 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'll do an Afrobeat list for sure. Should be relatively short since I am basically the only one releasing Afrobeat tracks. :lol:I could probably do a Funk list as well because that one's relatively clear cut and closely related to Afrobeat. Or maybe Afrobeat fits better as a subgenre of Funk? What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aludog 2,645 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Afrobeat is usually classified as a union of western and african music, mainly Funk and Highlife. Fela himself, who basically invented and popularized the genre, referred to James Brown as a big influence, so Funk is definitely part of the discussion (at least for me) but I see your point. It can't hurt to make a separate list because I have more than Fela Kuti planned. There's some seriously great stuff from other african artists from around the same time. I may throw Highlife into the mix as well and put it on the same list. :D 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JukeboxWithaHeartbeat 1 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 This is just incredible. For many years I’ve been into all of these forms of music that nobody else I personally knew could relate to…most people would just smile and nod when I talked about Funkadelic or The Bar-kays, they probably thought it was funny that I was such a reverse Oreo :D I knew one magical day I would find people who shared my love of all this amazing Funk & Soul. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon this site! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
