What key is most funk in?

• Funk is an evolution/combination of jazz and rock, essentially. It's thus going to be based on the scales used in these two. – Noldorin. Jul 15 '11 at 16:09.
• Major, Mixolydian and Dorian are used, just as they are in rock. The pentatonic blues scale probably figures in there, as all rock is based on the blues. – user1044.
