Today is the birthdate of Isaac Funk who with Adam Wagnalls gave us Funk & Wagnalls dictionary and encyclopedia. Tragically Funk died in 1912, well before he could get down to the music that would bear his name. By way of historical revisionism, we honor the man (who never went to Funkytown) with your requests after 9am.

Here's what we played:

The Isley Brothers "It's Your Thing"

JJ Grey & MOFRO "On Fire"

Commodores "Brick House"

Orgone with Adryon de León "All This Love That I'm Giving"

Sly & The Family Stone "I Want to Take You Higher"
