Name: Myk Nolan
Nights: Northern Funk / Funkademia

Top Ten:
(Ten floor fillers in year order)
Isley Brothers - It's your thing 1969
Whatcha gonna do

Shirley Bassey - Light my fire 1970
The finest version of the Doors tune you will ever hear, and the kids enjoy the singalong

Marvin Gaye - Inner city blues Tamla Motown 1971
Ooh monkey, which marvin tune should I pick they are all so funky

Kool & The Gang - Jungle Boogie Polydor 1973
Pulp fictions finest

The Four Tops - Are you man enough? 1974
And I used to think they were all a load of crooning has-beens

Mighty Clouds Of Joy - Mighty High 1975
Massively uplifting funky soul, one of my few 7" singles not to receive the glue treatment

Heatwave - Aint no half steppin 1976
Again much sampled but mighty fine funk from the otherwise pop soulsters

Rose Royce - Do your dance 1977
At last I have it on a 12". In between all those slushy ballads came this 9 minute funk monster with a massive horn section to go

Rhythm Heritage - Theme from Starsky & Hutch 1978
The lesser known version but to my mind the finest for the dancefloor

Patti Labelle - Music is my way of life 1979
As covered by the Lab Rats this is one of Patti's finest solo moments with her disco slippers
firmly on
