SONGS

Caffè Lattè has compiled a list of the all-time most essential funk tracks. This list takes us back to the genre’s roots when James Brown laid out its foundations in the 1960s. Groove was key and the torch was then passed on to acts such as Sly & The Family Stone, George Clinton, Kool & The Gang, Earth, Wind & Fire, Commodores, Curtis Mayfield, Chic, Rick James and many others.
