The Thank Goodness It’s Funky Show

“It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”

Bubber Miley, a trumpeter with Duke Ellington, originated that phrase while explaining to Ellington why customers weren’t dancing.

Then along came James Brown who found a whole new way to get people up and dancing…funk music. Ever since the Funk Bomb went off in ’65, musicians have been excited about applying the funk genre to their own music, no matter what genre.

Join Bob Stolk on his fun audio adventures exploreing the evolution of funk music during the past six decades, along with the many subgenera that were spawned from the fusion of funk and other genera. 

Funkster Spoiler Alert: This is not a funk purist show and is not limited to one funk style.
