Call me an old fogie, but I associate "funk" with Sly and the family Stone,
or perhaps the album I used to own "Rejuvenation" by the Meters.

PS I would also describe Stevie Wonder's "Boogie on Reggae Woman"
as funky. And Miles Davis circa 1970.

This is my favourite from the Genre.
On relistening, it owes more to the Byrds than the Beatles.

Of the latter, Clara schumann remarked words to the effect of
"I was expecting it to be good but not as goood as that".

As Philip Larkin memorably said (approximately):
"Sexual intercourse for me began in 1963
somewhere between the Lady Chatterly trial
and the Beatles' first LP"

Excluding just about any track on that album, my
favourite Beatles number is this:

Well, I'm no mathematician, meerly a meddlesome miscreant (ok, I'm a physicist doing EE, but miscreant just fit better there... and isn't far off anyway).

I'm also not very knowledgable about music, in general, but I know what I like when I see/hear it, and that link sure qualified.

Just to throw in my $0.02, here is what I can't get out of my head for the time being:

Not sure what they were smokin' when they made that video, but it must have been good.

Unfortunately the U-Tube clip is unavailable in this
wonderful country of ours.
We had been forewarned on the news.

Meantime, there's a little story attached to this clip:

No one has bitten, so here it is:

Stevie Ray Vaughan completely passed under my radar. But....

The other night, I recalled a band I saw at the Marquee Club
in London circa 1980. A refreshing change after 3 years of punk.
The guitarist had his leg in a cast and was
named Vaughan. I couldn't remember their name of the band, or even
a song. In desperation I googled Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Turned out that he had played with "The Fabulous Thunderbirds"
and had an elder brother named Jimmie.
