Funky Nassau" is a song written by Ray Munnings and Tyrone Fitzgerald and performed by The Beginning of the End. It reached on the US R&B chart, on the Billboard Hot 100, and on the UK Singles Chart in 1971. The song was featured on their 1971 album, Funky Nassau. The song was produced by Marlin Productions and arranged by The Beginning of the End. The single ranked on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1971.

Beginning Of The End hailed from The Bahamas, but don’t hold that against them because instead of being a Caribbean cliche, they took the best part of the island rhythms, and used them to forge an incredible approach to funk! They’ve got a choppy sound that’s the result of some incredibly dexterous guitar, bass, and drums and which you’ll recognize instantly from their one-time hit Funky Nassau, a killer funk track that never gets old, no matter how many bands cover it over the years! . Thirty years after its maiden voyage, Funky Nassau sails again on a digitally remastered CD. Their number 15 pop smash Funky Nassau Part 1 & 2 is the cream of this hands-on production by the Bahamas natives. The nine cuts fuses island rhythms and American jazz/funk into a doable, choppy mixture featuring guitars, bass, drums, and scratch vocals.

They released two albums in the 70's before breaking up. They were complimented by the The Funky Nassau Horns. They scored a dance funk hit with "Funky Nassau" in 1971, a definite classic of the genre.

Their number 15 pop smash "Funky Nassau Part 1 & 2" is the cream of this hands-on production by the Bahamas natives. Misclassified as a disco band, the Beginning of the End served up breezy Phil Upchurch-esque sounds, with "Come Down" and "Surrey Ride" being prime examples.

Emerging from Nassau in the Bahamas in 1971, the band was formed around the Munnings brothers (Ray, Leroy and Frank) and the first song they recorded, ‘Funky Nassau’, became a No. 1 Billboard R’n’B hit, selling over a million copies. We wanted to create something new, remembers Ray Munnings, something that was truly Bahamian. By the time of their second album in 1976, the band was managed by Don Taylor, also Bob Marley ’s manager. Don took us to Byron Lee’s studio in Jamaica and used Teddy Randazzo (Little Anthony & The Imperials) to direct the sessions, recalls Munnings.
