One of the lost genres of the 70's - Funk. Bring back Funk!

I remember those times.....I'm in touch with someone I interacted with from another forum, the X Factor forum of 2007 when SD were on, and he is a great fan of funk and the period of the late 70s / early 80s. I regularly keep in touch with him by phone.

I used to like, among others, Chic, Galaxy (Dancing Tight), Kool & the Gang and Sister Sledge.

That's right, Barry, Kool & the Gang and Sister Sledge were two that I remember well. It's hard to believe that Funk fizzled out. It produced some great artists like James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, Earth, Wind, & Fire, War, Average White Band, Isaac Hayes... The list goes on and on...

I remember Isaac Hayes and the Theme From 'Shaft' which was great Very Happy
I'm sure there must be conventions where hardcore fans of funk still meet and enjoy that genre.
