Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky is an album by American jazz-funk guitarist O'Donel Levy recorded in 1974 and released on the Groove Merchant label.
Reception
Allmusic's Sean Westergaard said: "Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky, O'Donel Levy's follow-up to his excellent Simba, is something of a letdown in comparison. ... None of this is awful; it just lacks the great tunes and arrangements of its predecessor".
