Where gospel, soul, jazz, R&B, and Afro-Cuban rhythms collide, funk is made. It is the marriage of syncopated base lines, a heavy beat, repetitive rhythmic vocals, extended stays on single chords, and the interwoven melodies of the Hammond organ and horn section. More a feeling than a definable genre, Funk is a proudly uninhibited, dance inspiring groove; a groove that filled the soundtrack of the waning civil rights movement.
