80’s Soul Its Origin



In 1970s R&B Soul was hitting the airwaves, funk music. Rhythm and Blues artists such as Small Richard, James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, and the Meters helped to make the way to R&B Funk topping record charts and filling nightclubs with a funky new beat. Funk music could be classified as a combination of soul music with a dash of jazz, and R&B, with a strong rhythmic groove built from the electric ancient School Soul bass, drums, and the electric guitar. When taking a ride down funk music memory lane you can’t help reckon back to the 80’s soul artists such as Rufus feat, Chaka Khan, Earth, Wind & Fire, Eric Burdon & War, Tower of Power, Average White Band, The Commodores, and Kool & the Gang. The thing with funk music way back in the 70′s and still at present is that no one band or artists was bound to just that one style of music. These same artist and others also played other genres of music such as disco and rare soul music. Funk just opened the doors to new openings for many as well as to new genres of music such as disco beats, hip hop, and go-go and punk music and many more.
