Right about now, the funk soul brother / Check it out now, the funk soul brother

I always though the lyric was Funk's your brother. I like that better.

Also, the song on R.A.M. before "Get Lucky" (Lose Yourself To Dance) rips off it's guitar riff from Cut Chemist's "The Garden" (which is likely a sample anyway, but god help me if I can find where from).

I'm willing to bet you can put blame for both on Nile Rodgers however, he kind of has a history of borrowing riffs.

Wefunk has tons of new funk as well, but I'm not as familiar unfortunately. Sharon Jones is one I know that people seem to really enjoy (she's often compared to James Brown). If you just browse the show listings they all have detailed descriptions - some sets are purely new funk. Also new disco-ish stuff, electro boogie, those types of things.

great thread - i find loads of modern music is funk-influenced, pure funk is much harder.

The Astrud Gilberto sample is referenced on the album jacket because it's the vocal sample. It isn't however the guitar sample (or perhaps original?) I was speaking of.
