WE WANT THE FUNK

By Girl Tyler

The 1970s are arguably the most sampled decade of music for Black artists. Nostalgia aside, Black artists brought their A-game in this golden era of music that continues to influence artists 50+ years later. (Shout out to the ‘70s babies!) The We Want the Funk playlist is a time capsule of oldies but goodies that instantly put you in a good mood from the first chord to the last beat. No skips over here! Just good ole fashion funk music forever loved by me and you, your mama, and your cousin too!
