Good grief! What an amazing selection! I'd say especially Parliament/Funkadelic, The Temptations and Marvin Gaye, but add Stevie Wonder for his "Innervisions" era stuff, Gil Scott Heron (If he's not a bit too jazzy) and Isaac Hayes.....Oh my! I've come over all funny! I want to dance!

Whoops I can't believe I forgot Stevie Wonder, I like him too

Anyone seen the Little Richard doll this Christmas? He's pretty funny.
I can't see too many to add to that exhaustive list..
Stevie Wonder is a great performer.

Funny how we pass over the Jackson Five and yet they were a great group! We used to dance in the youth center with pool cues to them.
What a show they'd put on!

One of my favorites, "I got the sweetest hangover, I don't wanna get over!"
