    Here's a few that I think fit the bill very nicely...

    STEVIE WONDER: BOOGIE ON REGGAE WOMAN
    Killer bass/synth line, from 1974, for fuck's sake. Classic.

    JESSE JOHNSON/SLY STONE: CRAZAY (FOR YOU)
    Probably a little old for the stated parameters, but still solid funk.

    GRANDMASTER FLASH: WHITE LINES
    More electro, but that bassline is 100% solid funk.

    From Prince’s funkier days.

    Kings Go Forth is a great funk band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After several years of 7" singles, they put out their first full-length, The Outsiders Are Back.

    Whut, no Average White Band?



    This from Lyn Collins is a classic,



    or coming from a more psychedelic soul territory, the Norman Whitfield produced Undisputed Truth:

    Isolated James Jameson bass part from 'what's going on'. The man was a genius!

    This track is weird and wonderful--starts out with electronic atmospheric weirdness, kicks is with an absolutely killer bassline at about 1:30, for extra wtf it features some melody on the saw (that's right, saw--at least I'm guessing), and ultimately builds up into a full-fledged horn section funk throwdown (with some free jazz weirdness sprinkled in just because). I love this track.

    Space Odyssey" by Marcus Belgrave

    Yeah, so you can go back to the Taphead post on page 1 and play the Imatran Voima song at the same time as the Bill Withers song, just start it at 1 minute into the Bill Withers song, and a mashup happens for 45s seconds until that percussion breaks it, that is something you can do.

    Here are a couple that are more straight-up mainstream funk than my last entry.

    James Brown and the JBs live in Zaire, 1974. James proves his "hardest working man in show business" rep.



    A party classic:

    MESSAGE FROM THE TRIBE is an amazing collection. Have you heard Marcus Belgrave's album GEMINI? Amazing stuff.

    Rarer Funk, from some mainstream Funk groups


    Earth Wind and Fire - "Evil"




    The Four tops. Yes those classy, wouldn't break a sweat
    guys go funk! The Funkateers go crazy.



    Four Tops - "Got To Get You A Woman" [HD]




    The opening bassline on that Four Tops tune above
    could fit any 70s cop show/ exploitation movie.
    Or Anything Tarantino ever made
