"Jungle Boogie" was one of the earlier funk songs on the playlist and in the funk and soul scene, released in 1973. As it hit number two on the RnB charts, it became extremely popular in the clubs. The spontaneous and effortless groove the horn-heavy beat created made it perfect for the dance floor. It served as a model for future funk songs that followed, and its influence is still felt today, as it has been sampled by everyone from Janet Jackson to the Beastie Boys.
