What
is Funk? Funk is a many splendored
thing. Funk is a nasty vibe, and a sweet sexy feeling; Funk is funkiness ,
a natural release of the essence within. Funk is a high, but it is
also down at the bottom, the low-down earthy essence, the bass elements.
Funk is at the extremes of everything. Funk is hot, but funk can
be cool. Funk is primitive, yet fun k
can be sophisticated. Funk is a way out, and a way in. Funk
is all over the place. Funk is a means of release that cannot be
denied. * *FUNK ~ The MUSIC, the PEOPLE
and the RHYTHM OF THE ONE ~ Rickey Vincent
