Funk hasnt received the critical attention that rock, jazz, and the blues have-until now. Colorful, intelligent, and in-you-face, Rickey Vincents 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 Isely Brothers), jazz-funk (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), monster funk (Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsys Rubber Band), naked funk (Rick James, Gap Band), disco-funk (Chic, K.C. and the Sunshine Band), funky pop (Kook & 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.

Foreword
BY GEORGE CLINTON
All too often I am confronted with the proposition to publish my life story. Agents, lawyers, accountantsyou name it. Theyve all had that flash-of-an-idea that someone might be interested in my autobiography. At one point, every contract I was offeredno matter what it was forincluded the exclusive rights to my life story throughout the universe, known and unknown, forever and a day.
What I think motivates these suggestions is the common misconception of the creator of funk and George Clinton as being one and the same.
Therefore, it was quite a refreshing experience for me to find that this book does not center around George Clinton/P-Funk, but instead puts things in proper perspectiveall the elemental factors and forces that have provided the environment and conditions for the making of this particular music.
