This is totally my thing but not sure if I'll be able to participate given the time of the year. As for the selection criteria, imo really cool old school funk music is often instrumental, it's all about the groove! Wink

Ironically, perhaps, two of my three selections today are from Caucasian performers, the third was an early racially integrated band.  

First, Mother Earth with "Down So Low," from their Living With the Animals release in 1968.  Tracy Nelson is the fine vocalist here.  

Next up is someone I thought might be too well-known in another poll, but this song wasn't a huge hit, although it's my favourite from this album.  Joan Osborne with "Pensacola," from Relish in 1995.  

Lastly, is "Signed DC," by Love, from their S/T album released in 1966.

That is fair enough and I know quite some more who apply, but chances are many of those are generally well known and I'm not the one who knows them best.

Oh, and this, I bought it because Mik Glaisher of the Comsat Angels is the drummer here.
Chicken Legs Weaver - Paper Houses (actually not sure whether this qulifies but band leader Andy Weaver is listed as blues singer).

Since I am already black (James Baldwin!) Wink, I propose three songs sung by whites:

1) Laura Nyro: Eli's comin'



2) Streetwalkers: Crazy Charade



3) The The: Sodium Light Baby

Hello dear friends!

This poll is dedicated to blues, soul and funky music.

Here is the "mascotte" of this poll:



Rules:

- You can propose up to 3 blues, soul, funky songs, then on Wednesday 22 you choose a song to propose for the vote.
Songs can be very contaminated: blues-rock, electronic-soul, funky-hip-hop, blues-rap, soul-jazz, funky-gospel and so on. (No pure jazz or pure gospel songs allowed).

- Comments on the proposed songs are very welcome.

- The length of the songs must be between 2 minutes and 7 minutes.

- Instrumental pieces are not allowed. We want to capture the soul of the artist!

- Songs from prog groups present on progarchives are not allowed.

- Songs from groups considered prog-related or proto-prog are allowed.

Enjoy!!!

Hug
