Name and artist please:
Here are some of my favorites:
Stawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson (which was a remake of the Shuggi Otis version).
Burn Rubber by The Gap Band
Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside
Only “Strawberry Letter 23” of your list is from the 70’s …
Which means you’ve tacitly approved my 80’s heavy list.
Ms. Got-the-Body by Con Funk Shun
Shake your Pants by Cameo
Freaky Behavior by the Bar-Kays
She Talks to Me With Her Body by the Bar-Kays
The Bar-Kays were one of my favorite groups EVER 
Sly and the Family Stone: If You Want Me to Stay…

One Nation Under a Groove - Funkadelic, released in '78
Oops Upside Your Head - The Gap Band, released in '79

Go for Your Guns, The Isley Brothers - greasiest clavinet groove you can find.
This thread is useless without links! More links!
Brothers Johnson-- Get The Funk Outta My Face
Isley Brothers – Fight The Power (Parts 1&2)
Get Up For The Downstroke – Parlament
The Jam – Graham Central Station
Every time I think I’m done, another even more favoriter song comes to mind. I’ll give it a rest now.
Lee Fields - Problems
Lee Fields - Honey Dove
Lee Fields - I’m The Man
Actually, the whole album is terrific. So is his more recent stuff. Lee Fields totally fucking rocks.
Freddi/Henchi and the Soulsetters - I Want To Dance, Dance, Dance
Freddi/Henchi and the Soulsetters - I Like Funky Music
Classic Funk - Hard Times
The Soul Drifters - Funky Soul Brother
Parliament - Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)
Okay, really damn near any P-Funk, but damn I love that song!
Sly & The Family Stone - Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
Sly Stone totally fucking rocks!
Rick James - Mary Jane
Ohio Players - Fire
I better stop before I list all the good songs! I have a fairly large collection of funk and R&B; it’s great music!
ETA: Okay, just one more! Who doesn’t love hearing Sugarhill Gang’s original long version of Rapper’s Delight?
Bootsy’s Rubber Band-- Bootzilla
The world’s only rhinestone rock star baby dollbaby, Bubba.
Parlament Funkadelic-- Cosmic Slop
I can hear my mother call, I can hear my mother call-- would you like to dance with me, we’re doing the cosmic slop?
Cymande-- Bra
But it’s all right. You can still go on.
I’m not entirely sure. As mentioned in earlier threads here:
Dig the clavinet, brother!
(Though, it doesn’t actually require clavinet. Check out a version with guitar: Stevie Wonder and his band performing Superstition live on Sesame Street.)
Play that funky music whiteboy- Wild Cherry.
Presented, for your perusal, perhaps the single funkiest groove of all time
Bootsy Collins, “What’s a Telephone Bill”
