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

TIA

Many in this thread were the leaders of Funk and definitely not under the radar. Some that haven't been mentioned Brass Construction BT Express Slave Johnny Guitar Watson The Gap Band SOS band
