Essential Funk Playlist

[fborelli]

Been trying to throw a funk-themed party for a long time, but I'm lacking a lot of essentials.

This is what I have so far:

The Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces
Cheryl Lynn - Got to be Real
Earth Wind & Fire - Shining Star
Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music
The Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band - Express Yourself

What else should I add?
