Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act A crash course in the origins and influence of funk music from the legends that made it popular. Sep 14, 2022 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News George calls funk the bridge between soul music and hip hop, and he builds a strong case. Funk refused to be put in any box. Wherever it came from, and wherever it's still doing, it gets your motor moving. Rated: 4/5 Feb 4, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
