The J Geils Band sang the song Centerfold.
A group sang it in 1990, besides the ones you listed. Little Eva and Grand Funk Railroad both went to #1 with Locomotion, only one of 2 songs to ever hit #1 with 2 different artists.

"Uptown Funk" is actually performed by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars, and it was released in 2014, not the 1980s. However, if you're looking for a band from the 1980s that influenced the funk genre, you might consider groups like Kool & The Gang or Prince and the Revolution. These artists played significant roles in shaping the funk sound that inspired later hits like "Uptown Funk."
