This subreddit is for Funk-based Soul predominantly made with traditional live instruments. Think James Brown, The Meters, Daptone. It is not about glitchy beats or the like. Slap bass WILL NOT be tolerated here. Especially bass with an envelope filter.
All things raw funk and soul.

This year featured three groundbreaking albums: Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Sly and the Family Stone's There's a Riot Going On, and Stevie Wonder's Music of My Mind. You could probably add Curtis Mayfield's Roots, Isaac Hayes' Black Moses and Shaft, and Funkadelic's Maggot Brain to the list. This was the year artists took James Brown's rhythmic innovations in exciting new directions.
Speaking of the godfather, he scored a few hits that year, some with Bootsy Collins in the band: Soul Power, Make It Funky, Hot Pants, Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved, Talkin' Loud, and Sayin' Nothing. In addition to those, 1971 featured King Floyd's Groove Me, Al Green's Tired of Being Alone, and the Staples Singer's Respect Yourself.
What are other years that compare with 1971 for quality and influence?
Made this song with my friends back in July. We were listening to a lot of Sam & Dave and Otis Redding.
