Now then, now then. What's funky about this record? Besides Aretha herself, that is.
Everything.
Funky slide guitar by Duane Allman, alongside the funky Muscle Shoals house band (more info on Muscle Shoals here), with funky groovemeister Jerry Jemmott on bass. Funky backing vocals, and snappyfunky brass section. Maybe it's the bass that's the most funkiest of the funkageness... or the drums...you decide!
Incidentally, what we also have here is an example of a cover version that was worth doing; Aretha almost makes it into a new song.
