Funk is one of the most recognizable music genres of the Seventies. It is not always easy to define but we know it when we hear it because it makes us want to get up and move. This episode explains how James Brown started the funk revolution, how bands like Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament/Funkadelic, and Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan ran with it, and how the politics of funk influenced its sound. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amy-lively/message
