By now, you know that our Record of the Month for July is Betty Davis' funk-tafied self-titled debut. Since funk is a genre that is vast and knowing where to start can be difficult, we're hooking you up with the ultimate 4 hour, 53 song funk playlist. Put this on shuffle and your next workday, family function, baptism, funeral (funkeral?), or BBQ will register on the Richter Scale.
