Most of its already been covered but late era Temptations was seriously funky and so is lots of Stevie Wonder.

I cant believe no one has mentioned James Brown - too obvious maybe.

Have you got horns? I've often thought function bands with horns can get a bit dull doing the stax/motown etc to death and really should do 5:15 just to show they can rock.

Amen brother!

seriously, he means it. and i second it :)

a great modern one to do is Beyonce - Work it out. We do it in a 3 piece (bass, drums, guitar), and it works great!

I do believe Work It Out is a cover. I heard a different, older-sounding version somewhere once. I'll look it up.

EDIT: Looks like I might have heard a later, more retro, less MIDI cover of it.

If you're doing weddings and such, some tunes they might recognise would help.

Think about about Average White Band - [i]Pick Up The Pieces[/i] gives the singer a rest - then going into Wild Cherry with [i]Play That Funky Music (White Boy)[/i]. Finish the trilogy with just about anything by KC and the Sunshine Band, my favourite being [i]That's The Way I Like It (Uh-huh Uh-huh)[/i].

See? You're humming it now, aren't you?
