Play That Funky Music

Today is the birthdate of Isaac Funk who with Adam Wagnalls gave us Funk & Wagnalls dictionary and encyclopedia. Tragically Funk died in 1912, well before he could get down to the music that would bear his name. By way of historical revisionism, we honor the man (who never went to Funkytown) with your requests. We'll choose the funkiest.

Here's what we played:

• "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" - James Brown
• "Bring The Funk" - Ben Harper
• "Do Yourself a Faver" - Jamie Lidell
• "Outa-Space" - Billy Preston
