Funk Rhythm and Blues R Styles
Funk Rhythm and Blues R Styles
Funk is R&B at its grittiest and earthiest, with emphasis on the bass and drums of the rhythm section. James Brown and Sly Stone are credited with developing Funk from Soul (urbanized/commercialized R&B) in the late 1960's. George Clinton took Sly's style a step further by adding acid rock influences.
