What’s Funk? 5.06.2020 - Message From a Black Man

Normally, we should write you a hurray-sentence about how funky and fun will our "What’s Funk" show be. We will not do this. This week you won't hear Qba's voice saying that this great song was made this or that year and that you should get up and dance. We will say nothing. We will give voice to those who are silenced all the time. With a knee around the neck. We can no longer use American culture that treats people like that, without any thought. People we love: James Brown, Sam Cook, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, George Clinton ... People whose music we grew up on. People whose music we cried, loved and danced to. People whose work is a direct stimulus for creation of this organization. We stand together! Funk for change! 01- James Brown - Say It Loud - I'm Black And I'm Proud (Live At Dallas Memorial Auditorium 1968) 02- Gil Scott-Heron - Revolution Will Not Be Televised 03- The Temptations - Message From a Black Man 04- The Whatnauts - Why Can't People Be Colors Too? 05- Sly & The Family Stone - Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey 06- Baby Huey & The Baby Sitters - Hard Times 07- Marvin Gaye - What's Going On 08- Fred Wesley And The J.B.'s - Damn Right I Am Somebody 09- Martin Luther King Jr. - I Have a Dream 10- Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come 11- Curtis Mayfield - Power to the People 12- The Chi-Lites - (For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People 13- The O'Jays - Give the People What They Want 14- Donny Hathaway - Little Ghetto Boy 15- Aretha Franklin - Respect 16- Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles - Rise
