Technically not funk but


Shakara by Fela Kuti

pretty close.

Funk from Britain:


Cymande by Cymande


Betty Davis by Betty Davis

and the following two by Betty Davis;


Afreaka! by Demon Fuzz

on the psych side of funk maybe?


Graham Central Station by Graham Central Station

Learn to slap with Larry Graham;


Hustlers Convention by Lightnin' Rod

Pimp spoken word, on the outskirts of funk


Rejuvenation by The Meters

New Orleans awesomeness

More classics:


Skin Tight by The Ohio Players


The World Is A Ghetto by War


Zapp by Zapp

^Late electro-funk

And of course all things James Brown, Parliament/Funkadelic that have already been recced to you.

The Payback - James Brown
Controversy - Prince
Risqué - Chic

If you want to venture a little bit outside of funk, I recommend you listen to Zombie by Fela Kuti. The bass lines are very funky but its mixed in with elements of jazz and African music as well. I owe thanks to someone on this site for recommending it to me years ago.
