Description: "Get down with the music that mixes R&B and soul with a little rock'n'roll. Packed with anecdotal bios, reviews, ratings, photos and much more, this guide tracks the artists and recordings that throw down the funk!".

"From James Brown to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Funk gets on the good foot with the whole funk family: classic funk, disco funk, funk rock, funky soul, jazz funk, white funk, and beyond. In-depth histories explore funk from its roots in New Orleans, psychedelia, and Motown to today's revival through rap and hip-hop.".

"Funk takes you to the heart, soul, and guts of funk - where musicians play, improvise, and feed each other until they hit a groove and the groove takes over. Like Dave Thompson says, "You cannot fake the funk.""--BOOK JACKET.
