Foundational Funk (funky drummer style aka breakbeats) came from the South. This was the style he brewed from Gospel, Blues, jazz and parade drumming

Ohio invented Synth-Funk

.
Sly Stone, Isley Brothers and Jimi Hendrix pioneered soul/funk/blues-rock hybrid

George Clinton/P-Funk is all of those styles mashed together

Funk didn't start in Ohio. It started wherever James Brown and George Clinton are from.

But Ohio made a huge contribution to it. This group was from Ohio. They were discovered by the Ohio Players.


:wow:
