Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
Larry Graham's Graham Central Station, Kool & the Gang (early days), Nile Rodgers, with or without Chic, Sister Sledge...
And that makes me remember a band... Indeep, I think they only recorded a couple of songs more... and Imagination... and an awesome band called Delegation...
I have (or had) all those vinyls... almost are those old 12" or maxi-singles as we used to say... Ha! And Junior!
Cool basslines by Mandrill. And +1 on Boxboy's EWF!
To add to the list:
The Bar-Kays
The Ohio Players
The Commodores
Rufus and Chaka Khan
Slave
Cameo
Con Funk Shun....
and for some Go-Go:
Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers
Meshell Ndgelocello
