Funk is its own reward
On the shelf? Just pop in.
'Funk Is Its Own Reward' draws on contributions from a cast of musicians and producers, writers and directors, designers and executives, including George Clinton, Bootsy and Stevie Wonder, to weave together a rich social and cultural history. Astute and thoughtful, Lloyd Bradley examines funk's significant contribution to and influence on modern culture - and the America that helped it thrive.
