Colorful, intelligent, and in-your-face, Rickey Vincent's Funk celebrates the songs, the musicians, the philosophy, and the meaning of funk. The book spans from the early work of James Brown (the Godfather of Funk) through today, covering funky soul (Stevie Wonder, the Temptations), so-called "black rock" (Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, the Isley Brothers), jazz-funk (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), monster funk (Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band), naked funk (Rick James, Gap Band), disco-funk (Chic, K.C. and the Sunshine Band), funky pop (Kool & the Gang, Chaka Khan), P-Funk Hip Hop (Digital Underground, De La Soul), funk-sampling rap (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre), funk rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus), and more. Funk tells a vital, vibrant history - the history of a uniquely American music born out of tradition and community, filled with energy, attitude, anger, hope and an irrepressible spirit. AnnotationRickey Vincent's examination of funk, its origins, influences, and most celebrated practitioners, explores the nature of this musical hybrid of R&B, jazz, the blues, and rock & roll in chapters that include a brief history of the Black Panther party, a study of James Brown, and an examination of George Clinton's influential Parliament-Funkadelic musical conglomerate. Vincent's wide-ranging exploration covers the music's shifting parameters since its advent in the 1960s, its relationship to the growing black political consciousness of that and succeeding decades, and its inevitable absorption into the musical mainstream through commercialization. Exactly what funk is turns out to be almost indefinable--as much a feeling as a musical genre, you know it when you encounter it.
