Great great Funk'in documentary.

Musicians, intellectuals, fans...A very well done in relative chronological order of the funk, where it comes from, how it developed, the revolution & the evolution. Musicians showing their thang, bassists, guitarists. It's both an audio & visual feast; live performance clips from The Godfather of Funk, James Brown & many others, P-Funk, Sly & the Family Stone, the ladies of Funk up to & including how funk gave birth & enabled Hip Hop.

A 5 star job well done. Only way it would've been better is had it been even longer...Will tell many people and recommend whole heartedly...Funkin' fantastic, enjoy....
