What about Fela Kuti?
If that's not prog, what is... And in the 80's and 90's Salif Keita made some outstanding fusion-crossover records. |

The Temptations recorded a lot of proggy material in the late 60's early 70's. But their actual albums were always a mix of one or two advanced, beautifully orchestrated mini-epics and shorter more typically recognizable Motown-soul/funk, perhaps a syrupy ballad (or a nice one) and a dullish cover (or a good one). Not sure if they had to do it like that to survive or make the record company happy - or maybe they simply liked it that way. Anyway I'd skip the regular albums and go for this fantastic collection:  |

Not to be pedantic here but shouldn't this be in the general music forum and not under prog...?

Sly and the Family Stone's early stuff is surprisingly progish. |

^ I had just come back to the site to add Stevie Wonder to the list, and you're right, Curtis Mayfield belongs as does Stanley, Tony and Lenny.

Good list but don't forget Stevie Wonder, Tony Williams, Stanley Clarke and Curtis Mayfield. Lenny White(drummer from RTF) also had some interesting solo material. Of course there's also Prince but he was a bit later. Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - March 01 2018 at 20:07 |

I think DEMON FUZZ was all black and they are here on PA under jazz-fusion.

Rotary Connection
WAR Funkadelic Mandrill Osibissa Isaac Hayes early Kool and the Gang Soundtrack to "Sweet Sweetback's Badass Song" mid 70s Miles Davis Herbie Hancock Sextet Shuggie Otis Junie Morrison Chambers Brothers David Sancious Billy Cobham The Jimi Hendrix Experience Larry Young's Fuel (mid 70s) early Earth Wind and Fire As far as individual songs go, there are some interesting things by The Meters, The Ohio Players and Quincy Jones. For more current music, there is some interesting artsy RnB coming out of LA lately, particularly Thundercat. There is more, but I have to think about it. This site might help you out, it has extensive lists of funk and RnB artists with jazz and art pop leanings: http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/ Edited by Easy Money - March 01 2018 at 19:18 |

Ain't talking bout "Love", (but they were a great, eclectic group)..
I've always loved The Stylistics, Delfonics, Dramatics, and anything else that ends in ICS.. But seriously, if there's anything a bit under the radar, or something very similar, I'm sure some would love to hear. Can you imagine "You Make Me Feel Brand New" with a bit of jamming? (I don't care if they are white, didn't want to make a paragraph out of the subject title) Edited by MortSahlFan - March 01 2018 at 18:10 |
