Funkadelic - Standing on the Verge of Getting It On (1974)

This is absolutely my favorite Funkadelic album. Of course there is Maggot Brain which is a beautiful album but this album is a pure funk jam. My favorite track from this album has to be I'll Stay, it is so beautiful. The funk jams are great especially the title track. Jimmy is very funny song if you listen to the lyrics. Please enjoy this funk masterpiece and remember "In Funk We Trust".

Thank you! I think their funkiness mask their greater genius which lies in the lyrics

eg. check out the lyrics of Good THoughts, Bad Thoughts:

Think right, and you can fly
The kingdom of heaven is within
Free your mind, and your ass will follow

thanks again for the post
