Toots and the Maytals. Recent-ish, I think.

what was so funky about him? not saying it wasn't good or anything, but at the same time, far from the funkiest thing i've ever heard.

If you have to ask... ;-)

Well, each to his own I guess, if that's your bag, me, I've heard funkier.

[Adee]

Well funk me !

I liked it, although I liked the dancing more.

Toots is the best. He's been rocking for 5 decades.
Funky Kingston: listen to the record, that's funky enough for me!! Also check out Louie Louie and Pressure Drop.

Top quality dancing, it has to be said.

Hell yeah! Not many records with that much energy. Apparently recorded live in the studio with passers-by invited in to join the party.
