Been listening to this a lot more lately and looking for more. Here's an idea of what I'm lookin for: Isaac Hayes- Walk On By James Brown- The Big Payback Barry White- Never Gonna Give You Up
Eisley Brothers, Earth Wind and Fire, War, Marvin Gaye, Kool and the Gang Chi Lites, Four Tops, Temptations, [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQqTxK7VhSk"]YouTube - Curtis Mayfield - People Get Ready[/ame]
super fly soundtrack is a great place to start. I would also recommend marvin gaye. Very underrated soul singer IMO.
Damn, I just now looked at that tracklisting and I know most of those songs. Had no idea that they were all on there.

I bought this cd at bn.com very cool and very worth it. http://music.barnesandnoble.com/The-Definitive-Soul-Collection/Curtis-Mayfield/e/81227766122/?itm=8
george clinton and the p funk all stars..even has funk in their name. i haven't heard alot of their stuff but ive seen them play and they were pretty funky for sure. also check the soulmen(bernie mac/sam.l.jackson) ost as it had some funky stuff on it including isaac hayes.

the marvin gaye album I own. I say he is underrated because I don't think people realize just how often his songs can pop up in advertisements, etc. and just how great they are. I know I initially didn't. http://music.barnesandnoble.com/Gold/Marvin-Gaye/e/602498632253/?itm=26
