Where'd You Get Your Funk From? - 20 Fantastic Funk Albums Everyone Should Own

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE **
Welcome to the Where'd You Get Your Funk From? (Episode 19) Jam Fans Forum! This is the first of a planned ongoing series of Where’d You Get Your Funk From? editions in which expert, authoritative panelists provide their top picks in various funk music categories. Kicking it off is the super fun topic of the 5 Fantastic Funk Albums Everyone Should Own. 
Joining host Scott “DR GX” Goldfine for this assignment are three highly qualified and distinguished Jam Fans: music & culture journalist and liner notes master A. Scott Galloway (https://ascottgalloway.net); music scholar, author and radio show host Rickey Vincent (https://kpfa.org/program/the-history-of-funk); and funk crusader, educator and radio show host Phil Colley (https://www.pfunkradio.com). Thanks to them all for keeping the funk alive! 
Panelists’ Picks Ground Rules:- Albums must contain minimum three funk tracks or one-third total playing time.- Picks are not shared ahead of time, so everyone experiences the reveals together.- Panelists compile alternates in case someone else names the same pick first. That means teaming up for a total of 20 picks!- No artist should be chosen more than once by each participant.- Picks may be shared in random, unranked or in non-chronological order. - Picks may be based more on personal preference than historical context.

A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?
This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.
