Since you like Chic, try a song by Kano called "You Can't Hold Back." When I said I liked Chic somebody reccomended me that track and I really like.

I got a 1981-ish vibe from your list....so what about...


"On The Beat" - BB&Q Band or
"Watch Out" - Brandi Wells ?

Very funky bass & smooth grooved R&B.
