The original Funky Drummer has put down his sticks.
Clyde Stubblefield, legendary drummer for the JBs, and probably the most-sampled drummer in history, has died at age 73.

Between him and the Amen Break, you have a pretty good portion of early east coast hip hop, at least through the golden age.
Damn
Before the Wu-Tang, the JBs were the ones not to berk with.
Watch some of the videos that musicians posted in tribute:

The Boston 68 is incredible 
I'm DJ'ing a social dance tomorrow (think Blues, Swing, Funk, etc.). Want to incorporate multiple tracks using his drumming.
So far I've got plenty of James Brown that features him, but I'll only play two tracks from a single artist max.
and LL Cool J "Mama Said Knock You Out"
Any other suggestions on good danceable songs featuring him?
