70's music recommendations

I'm feeling all retro for some reason.  Other than Billy Preston, can anyone recommend some funk along the lines of this?

Stevie Wonder, Bootsie Collins, Parliament, Commodores

Average White Band, MFSB, Tower Of Power, Isley Brothers. The Meters. 
 

Ides Of March. Incredible Bongo Band. 

Buddy Miles.  Witness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-ECOlfm9Xs

Average White Band.

Booker T. and the MGs.

Funkadelic.

Issac Hayes.

Sly and the Family Stone.

One from left field...Leonid and Friends, a Russian band that does spot-on Chicago covers as well as some others (like Ides of March and Earth, Wind and Fire).  Street Player: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiNw4SKqaX4

If you want modern stuff with that funk, look up the Haggis Horns, Cooking On Three Burners, and the Mighty Imperials. 

For slightly jazzier funk check out Chris Joss. 
 

Curtis Mayfield

Detroit Emeralds

Whoever upvoted this post is awesome. 
 

Here come the mummies hit it sometimes and are a bit irreverent.

I shall be mocked for this, but there's an album called Pornosonic that is full of this stuff. Just don't mind the interstitial, umm, vocal intros.

Also, the soundtrack for the videogame Interstate 1976. Neither of these are the result of a deep devotion to the craft, but are studio musicians let free for the day.

Of course, if you're just looking for horns you want some Blood Sweat and Tears. They don't have the chunky rhythm guitar, though, so it's not really the funk.

But if you'll excuse me, I'm heading off to hear every bit of Haggis Horns I can.

Check out some Weather Report.

While looking for something else, I came across this. Newer that the 70's and a bit of electronica but a funk vibe still.  Sorta funk roller-disco. 

Lowell George was still alive then, Little Feat could get the job done.

Especially with Tower Of Power backing them up. 
 

Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters, Jacob Pastorius, Stanley Clark, Return to Forever, 70s George Benson.

On the more modern side, check out St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Marcus King Band.

TWRP  makes some nice modern funk/disco.

Doctor Lonnie Smith? 

War

Ohio Players

The Spinners

Bay City Rollers

KC & The Sunshine Band

...who are quite possibly the LEAST funky musical group since Donnie and Marie.

So I'm listening to Haggis Horns  and realized - thanks to a cover - they sound like early Kool & The Gang.

Did I introduce the Haggis Horns to the class, or did others know about them?
