Funk

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Funk grew out of jazz, rhythm and blues and soul in the second half of the 1960s, with James Brown in the leading role. All the instruments come together on the first beat, 'on the one', and rhythm takes precedence over harmony: a song often stays on a single chord for minutes at a time. George Clinton with P-Funk, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire built on it.
