Funk Essentials - Under The Radar

Feel free to mention EWF, Parliament, etc., but I'm curious as to which releases this group thinks might be the overlooked gems.

TIA

Funks are "Mothership Connection", "Uncle Jam Wants You" and "Gloryhallastoopid". Would also recommend the Ohio Players "Honey" and "Fire". Although Sam & Dave and Wilson Pickett were both funky, their music wasn't funk. It's all about the ONE!
