	Funk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Funk music was exported to Africa in the late 1960s, and melded with African singing and rhythms to form Afrobeat.
		In the 1980s, funk lost some of its audience as bands became more commercial and music more electronic, effectively phasing out horn sections which were the core of many funk bands.
		In Brazil, the word "funk" is used to denote a distinct genre of music called baile funk (also known as rio funk), related to electro.

	Encyclopedia: The Headhunters
		This band, along with George Clinton's Parliament and James Brown are the key influences from funk.
		As in funk, the band often built a groove around a bassline, and Paul Jackson's often deceptively simple licks are frequently the bedrock of Headhunters material.
		While straightforward funk depending on a snappy, danceable backbeat from the drummer, the various drummers in the Headhunters tended to use the stability of Paul Jackson's basslines as a anchor, allowing them to play in and around his motif, creating more advanced and complex rhythmic patterns, drawing on the jazz drumming tradition.

		His backup musicians are stellar, with Smokin' Joe Sciallo playing a hollow body guitar into a lovely tweed Victoria amp.
		He ranged from absolutely hard-hitting Chicago to laid back New Orleans to raging funk to killer West Coast swing to sweet, soulful ballad to boogie to well, lets just say the well is ~deep~ and I had the feeling that there was plenty more where that came from.

		Elsewhere in these listings is one band that took it's name from a New York nightclub so it only seems appropriate to cover a group with the good sense (good taste?) to purloin their name from a well known downtown Detroit eatery of the early sixties.
		Flaming Ember always proudly declared themselves a Detroit band, comprised of players living in Detroit (within its city limits, not out in the 'burbs or even some other county) and as their assimilation of Motor City soul styles proved, many folks (of all colors) remain convinced the Flaming Ember were anything but four white guys.
		A series of management misfortunes cost them opportunities and the band had begun recording what would have been their first album but the master tapes were destroyed in a fire at United Sound Studio in 1969, which seemed to sound the death knell for the group.
