I can't call Nile disco (I see them gathering stones to throw at me now) -- le Chic was more a rock-funk band.

Notwithstanding that, I agree with your conclusion, though I wouldn't mind some KC and would relish Sly.

Earth Wind and Fire, can do. And I’ll go you the original George Clinton and Funkadelic.

Personally, am a Booker T. and the MGs, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn type for that kind of R&B.
