for funk...anything by The Meters is essential, James Brown (album: Dead on the Heavy Funk).
for soul... such a wide range of styles but for dancing you can't go wrong with Motown - there are lots of Mod soul albums about with Isley Brothers, Martha Reeves, Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Jimmy Ruffin. Also get some Northern Soul compilations - the DJ Richard Searling does good selections of floorfillers from Wigan Casino and the Twisted Wheel. Check out Kent Records and Goldmine Records.
for reggae...Depends what style again. I don't know much about modern dancehall stuff but for 60s Ska and Rocksteady look for The Skatalites. Try and get the Trojan Records mod reggae boxset (although trojan stuff is deleted now - pm me and you can ftp the audio files)...
In fact pm me and we can sort out transferring all of it...
