YouTube Funk
So, I was a wanderin' around the internet and ran into some video on YouTube. I'd heard of YouTube before, but hadn't really thought about it as a resource for funk music. Well, well, well, wasn't I wrong! Since we're all about the funk around here, I thought I'd do y'all a favor and add some new links on the left. Down below our favorite artists you'll find a new section containing links to classic video (well, what I think is classic anyway) on YouTube. So far I've found stuff by the Meters, James Brown, Issac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, the Bar-Kays, etc. I've even included a link to a video containing some early hip-hop footage. I haven't explored a whole lot yet (there are some 2800 videos listed in my search for "funk"), but so far it looks promising. I even found a random band that plays a pretty decent little funk ditty. If they had posted a name or more info, I'd probably feature them. Anyway, enjoy the links and hopefully this will inspire you to do some digital digging on your own.
