In the late 60's,and early to mid 70's, the nation was going through a change coming out of the Vietnam War and Civil Rights movement. At moment in time several different music of that day flourished folk music, rock music,motown sound was the dominate genres during thoses days. One particular type of music that sometimes get forgotten, and that music is FUNK AND SOUL MUSIC. James Brown bringing funk to the forefront of mainstream america, with Bold songs like "BLACK AND PROUD" AND "FUNKY PRESIDENT". Funk music was the revolutionary music in the underpriviledge communities arcross america. Gil Scott Heron, and The Last Poets were my heroes,allowing me to be able to vent my frustration being an african-american child living under less desirable conditions. Now, here we are 2008, embarking on a histrical moment for our Strong and Mighty nation,nominating a African-American man to run for Commander and Chief . Music needs to be the catalyst of change in attitude and feelings for our fellow american brother and sister. Breaking down color lines and divisions, to final create a complete and whole United States of America. I'm so proud to be a Musican and Artist in this time and place in our wonderful history in a america. I SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN ,MORE NOW THEN EVER.
