The group was founded in Indianapolis in 1969 by organist Bobby Watley, who recruited tenor saxman Eugene Barr, guitarist Steve Weakley, drummer Jimmy Munford and conga player Cecil Hunt.

The band's inspired blend of impassioned jazz improvisation and riveting funk grooves was given a highly enthusiastic reception by disc jockeys and record buyers across the country, as well as by critics.

" Hangin Out " features their organ-heavy sound vamping away on some really tight groovers with some excellent modal riffing in a sweet jazz dance mode. The big cuts include "Smokin' At Tiffany's" and "Dirty Red", both groove classics that have a strong Prestige jazz funk sound. Other cuts include a sweet cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Give Me Your Love", plus the tracks "We Can Be Friends" and "I'll Be Around". Funk Inc are highly regarded in soul-jazz circles. Funky album recorded by Funk Inc. in 1972 for Prestige label. Also includes a cover of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now".


Funk Inc - Smokin' at Tiffany's

Classic funk at its finest

The bass just walks right into the room... all shufflin' and non-chalant-like. Very cool




Funk Inc - Give Me Your Love

This is one of the tightest instrumentals of this song I have ever heard
