Funk is an American musical style that originated in the mid to late 1960s when African American musicians blended soul music, soul jazz and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music.

Unlike R&B and Soul songs, which had many chord changes, funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: -123 min.
