Episode 39: DJRD’s ‘We Want The Funk MiX! (Vol.1)’

In the late ’60s, the son of Soul and Rock was born and it would eventually be known as FUNK. The Godfather James Brown and Sly and Family Stone cultivated it and handed it to the likes of George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and a whole new legion of Funketeers.

Let’s take a ride on this funky voyage and get down to some of the songs that shaped my early years.
