I'm listening to Super Freak which was song by Rick James. It's one of the most memorable funk song of all time to the best of my knowledge.
This song got me into funk.

Recently, I've been listening to a lot of classic funk music, especially works by the late great musician James Brown.
Since music is timeless, it continues to sound contemporary even today. "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," and "The Payback" are a few of my favorite James Brown songs.
Papa's Got a Brand New Bag was the last song of his that I listened to.
I've been and am currently listening to Sly & the Family Stone.
They combine funk, soul, and rock in their music, and their live performances were renowned for their fervor and improvisation.
