This week's Thursday theme is Funky. It is a word that is commonly used and we have a general idea what it means. So I wanted to find out what is the actual definition for the word FUNKY. For your information and mine here is the definition for FUNKY.
Main Entry: 2funky Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): funk·i·er; funk·i·est
Etymology: funk offensive odor
Date: 1784
1: having an offensive odor : foul
2: having an earthy unsophisticated style and feeling ; especially : having the style and feeling of older black American music (as blues or gospel) or of funk (a slick, heavy beat that is unmistakably contemporary and irresistibly funky — Jay Cocks)
3 a: odd or quaint in appearance or feeling b: lacking style or taste c: unconventionally stylish : hip — funk·i·ly adverb — funk·i·ness noun
The song that best fulfills definition two is the song Gonna to Have a Funky Good Time performed by James Brown

I was gonna go with James Brown as well, but then I changed my mind. Nice to find him here!
I have James Brown's "Cold Sweat" LP, and the energy that blasts off of the vinyl is incredible. And I love his early cuts, too, like the relatively mellow "Try Me." I miss him.
So many wonderful 'musical reminders'......
He knew how to give everyone a funky good time.Ha!Ha! He is missed alot.
