This book explores how funk emerged in the mid-1960s at the very
apex of the civil rights movement and shows how this music mirrored
the broader changes taking place within the African-American
community at a crucial political time and continues to this day to
underpin remix culture. It traces the extent of the Brown legacy,
musically, culturally and otherwise articulating decisive links
between Brown's work and the DJ culture that embraced it so
emphatically that Brown is now considered to be the most widely
sampled African-American recording artist in history; indeed, we
seem to have reached a point where many of Brown's refrains - the
screams, the horn stabs, the "funky drummer" breakbeats - have been
sampled so often as to have seemingly become part of the public
domain. Traversing the past forty years of popular music, the book
explores how the ubiquitous presence of Brown's groove, the
affective and transformative capacities of a grunt or a well-timed
"Good God" or punctuating scream take over where language fails and
compel even the most sedate listener to take to the floor.
