| | Hexapedia - Funk |
 | | Funk is a distinct style of music originated by African-Americans, e.g., James Brown and his band members (especially Maceo and Melvin Parker), and groups like The Meters. | | | Funk music was exported to Africa in the mid to late 1960s, and melded with African singing and rhythms to form Afrobeat. | | | This early form of the music set the pattern for later musicians: the music was slow, sexy, loose, riff-oriented and danceable. |

| | The Johnny Bacardi Show |
| | Edit: After listing to the whole thing once through, two tracks stood out (and there were at least a couple more which I liked): "Families" and especially the mournful, almost "Don't Be Denied" (from Time Fades Away- put that G-darn album out on CD, Neil!)-ish "Roger and Out". | | | Anyways, the backing musicians kinda give the songs I've heard a Tupelo Honey/His Band kinda vibe. | | | oh well, I guess everyone could make their own list. |
