Do You Recognize Disco? I Don't Reject Disco
I don't think we use the word 1960 funk, certainly not the way we used it in the 70s and the 80s. By the way, James Brown is funk or no? Yes. And so is Junior Wells, by the way. Who's that? Oh, Junior Wells, Chicago blues. He was James Brown before James Brown was hard to imagine somebody being James Brown. Where do you put like little Richard or all that kind of stuff like Ray Charles, like when they get like hit the road jack and don't you come back? Isn't that like there's a funkiness in it? I'm just thinking in terms of, you know, what that was rock.
