Funk Started In Ohio

[IllmaticDelta]

I always thought Soul basically evolved into Funk.

it did

 

[Luke Cage]

Yes

Being in Ohio during the funk era, was akin to being in Harlem during Jazz/Renaissance era. No other region had it popping like Ohio.
All the artists people listed in here that weren't from Ohio, were still there touring and performing heavily.

You’re incorrect as well... I see I’m discussing music with people who really don’t know music... funk music has a distinctive chord structure and rhythm that ORIGINATED in NEW ORLEANS Wayyyyyy before there was a James Brown, George Clinton, or Bootsy Collins... those three and more EVOLVED the sound, they didn’t create it...

And I take back my previous post... Jazz did originate in New Orleans.

na, funk the genre was created by james brown from a mix of blues, jazz, gospel, soul and modified, new orleans parade drumming





..that's funk the genre but funkyness was around way before that in blues/jazz/gospel

blues musicians/songsters traveled all over spreading songs/guitar styles

The Blues were in those regions even before slaves were even sold down into Mississippi. Look it up.

The Blues were not invented in Mississippi. They were carried there. Besides that you all are pointing to a specific genre of the Blues, which is known as Delta Blues. Other regions had versions of the Blues too.

blues vocals were in those places, not the 12 bar and guitarists

12 bar blues on guitars was invented in mississippi and then spread to texas and louisianna. Blues vocals/field hollers were to be found all over the south. The blues you see in the yellow trail on this map isn't as melismatic-microtonal or riff based as the one that spread from the delta and nearby areas

The Piedmont style is differentiated from other styles, particularly the Mississippi Delta blues, by its ragtime-based rhythms.[1]

New Orleans shouldn’t even be brought up itt. James Brown was from GA


George Clinton was from NJ

White folks called the Piedmont Blues some damn folk music and then they called it Country music. nikkas got confused and they assumed that Blues only exist in Mississippi.

Delta Blues are just a different genre, it is still the Blues. White people even shifted some Delta Blues men like Mississippi John Hurt into the Folk music category and now modern Black people don't even know that he is playing the Blues.

Nah thats the Birthplace of jazz tho. you could argue that The carolinas is the birthplace of funk. James Brown and George Clinton are from there. Hell even texas with sly.Dayton is the capitol of funk

James brown from Georgia

delta blues and mississippi hill are the oldest styles of blues. White people called piedmont blues, folk and country because of it's lighter feel than the delta blues + its thumbpicking-alternating bass style

Delta Blues are just a different genre, it is still the Blues.

it's the oldest blues style

I explained why already

and now modern Black people don't even know that he is playing the Blues.

black people that know blues, know he's a blues musician

James Brown started it all. It’s no mistake that a lot of those funk cats started out in his band

The Delta Blues genre cannot be the oldest genre of the Blues; if the Blues were already being played before people were even sold down river into the Mississippi Delta.

What the Hell was being played on the plantations in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia if it wasn't the Blues? You guys are confusing the style of the music being played in the regions.

there was no blues on guitar/12 bars blues prior to the mississippi style

field hollers and banjo + fiddle music (what came to be old-time music)
