"Do You Wanna Get Funky" is a song by American

ASCAP's Rhythm & Soul Awards in 1995.[1]

Composition

Sampling

P-funk track "with highly charged vocal performances" and "a slick and insinuating groove that is padded with ear-pleasing synth lines".[2][3][4]

Critical reception

Cash Box highlighted its "heavy-duty dance groove, some tasty toast-vox from Trilogy and a heaping helping of Ms. Wash’s operatic voice", and also suggested the "fiery track" could be a hit on "a large cross-section of contemporary radio".[5] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "When was the last C&C hit? In other words, high time for a new one."[3] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update called it the best cut "on a rather patchy new album", positively commenting on the choice of sample and "superb diva vocals from Martha Wash and Zelma Davis".[4]
