Listening: Style 2

Question 1: Describe the mixing and panning in this track. (Which instruments are prominent and which are in the background; which are central, which are left and which are right?) Make some suggestions about why the track has been mixed and panned in this manner. 

Instruments used in the song is:
*trumpet
*organ
*drums
*vocals
*guitar
*keyboard
*bass guitar

The bass guitar opens the song, the bass guitars controls the groove in this song and makes it funk. Instruments are panned to different sides:
*the keyboard is panned to the left
*the vocals, trumpet, guitar, drums and bass is panned to the centre
the instruments are panned this way because it gives the feel of funk and makes it groovy and funky. The instruments that are used in funk are panned to the centre and made noticable so we can get the feel of funk and helps it sound like the genre funk.

Question 2: Is this track a funk track? What musical / sonic components of the track suggest that it is and which suggest that it is not?

This song is funk because the bass line starts the song and in funk the bass line is very important and gives a repetitive sequence witch makes it funk. So the song starts with the bass line. This song doesnt have a built structure it is simple and repeats the melody but uses lyrics but carries on the same melody, and funk is known to be repetitive with words and phrases and melodies, improvises. 
The trumpets doing add libs in the background make it very funk, all the instruments used like the trumpets and the bass guitar is used in funk and the way this song uses the bass guitar and trumpets is very groovy and funky. The chords are augmented.
