As previously mentioned, I will be starting off the first week of Black Music Month with some funk in the next episode. Music helps in every situation of our lives. In honor of June being Black Music Month, I wanted to share the black excellence that dominates the industry. I'll always have your back in some slow jams, hip hop, and gospel to celebrate the occasion. Can you get funky with it tho?
You will always get to unwind with very good music in our culture. Black Music Month is exactly what it states. It is music designed to venerate melanated music and melanated culture. Liberty and justice are still parts of the agenda. As mentioned out in the HuffPost, the idea behind selecting June as Black Music Month came from President Jimmy Carter. It was further pushed into legislation by music producer Kenny Gamble and his ex-wife Mrs. Dyana Williams. Dyana is known as the Godmother of Black Music Month as noted by Ebony. Our interest is still resistance.

Go right ahead and make it funky. You can't mention funk and not include James Brown in it. That is extremely illegal and highly offensive. You better stand on the right side of the Father of Funk=James Brown, baby! Where my skates at? I feel a love roller-coaster coming over me in the spirit of all this funk. I just can't take it!
Get ready for the big payment. Can you dig it? No backstabbing allowed over in here. Come on over and slide back into some righteousness because you are going to pay everything back. JB not playing around with you. Let's just make it a family affair, break bread and of course, um, pass them peas.
Ready or not here we come yall! One nation under a groove to funk you up. In good times only. Hollywood trying to swing to our funky tunes, but "they not like us." Let's go dancing after work at the car wash. It's Black Music Month!
These men known as the Commodores praised the anatomy of all women who embodied a curvaceous body (especially black women) in a more sophisticated respectful manner, unlike the artists of today. A Brickhouse lady was their way of appreciating the God-given womanly qualities and cutie pie features men are attracted to in some women. To be called or labeled as a "Brickhouse" was a good thing in black communities.
We cannot forget to include our beloved disco funk. Hey, funk is funk! You got to be real. You've got to get down on it, ladies (lol). I know you've been like one of the greatest dancers. Me too! I love to dance! When you get on that dance floor you turn the whole groove upside down. The DJ really saved your life because he played the right songs. You were the entire mood of the night. You really just enjoyed yourself. This is what funk is all about. Always good times with this type of music!
Funky dogs are in the house. They're everywhere. Freak out to the cool sounds of Mr. Clinton. This Atomic Dog song is a classic funk soul jam to groove to or
dazz to.
dazz to.
I came across this special edition of the Atomic Dog version dedicated to all the Que Dogs. Happy Black Music Month with purple and gold turning this mutha out and giving up all that funk.
