PRINCE GRACES NEW 'FUNK BIBLE' BOOK COVER

As as member of this community since its beginnings, a Prince fan since Soft and Wet and lifelong funkateer I wanted to share that the funk music book I began writing more than 25 years ago is finally out and available as an ebook on Amazon. It's a life goal of mine to help funk music stay alive and receive the acclaim, respect and attention it deserves.

The album reviews-oriented book is called "Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk."

You can read more about it in this press release: http://www.einpresswire.c...-bookshelf

And you can sample or buy it here: https://www.amazon.com/gp...4865a2eed3

I am confident any funk fan will eat this up and most true music enthusiasts will also enjoy my very personalized book. Even if you don't like the music much I think you will appreciate the firsthand stories also included from my career in media and music.

If you do check it out, drop me a line with some feedback!

Happy holidays and New Year to everyone in this fabulous community, and long live Prince and funk!

Scott G.

Noooo, not you. I read your bio already and said congratulations! lol

That question was directed to the person who was criticizing you.

Sounds interesting. I'll probably buy it. I skimmed through the beginning in the free preview, but I'm most interested in the reviews, so I'm willing to buy it.

What do you think of Rickey Vincent's Funk book?

Do you have plans in place for a paperback?

I think you can even publish a paperback on demand, but you probably know all the options being in media. If you do go with a print version, I highly recommend changing the cover. Prince is my favorite artist, but I don't think that photo does funk justice. If it's Prince again, I highly recommend a photo from 1980 - 1983 when he was at his deep, stanky, funkiest. But a collage of P-Funk, Prince, James Brown, Chaka Khan, and early RHCPs and/or some other artists would be even cooler.

Now what is your argument here?

Throwing out files into the world is easy. We do not need amazon or 'kindle' to do so.

So where is the paperback edition?

Oh please. It's been half a year since he died and we're already seeing a string of amateur ebooks flung up on amazon. Where else are they going to promote them but here.

Well at least he didn't come here barely two weeks after Prince passed and use his deceased mom for sympathy like that other guy whom you people love around here.

Writing a decent book is not easy but did you read his bio? The author appears to have more knowlege and experience regarding music than Hahn did when he wrote his book.

Y'all give everybody else a pass so why not cut this author some slack?

Are they different in what regards?

Please explain.

It's not a Prince book. It's a book about funk and Scott has been working on it for years, as he explains in the non-Prince forum. I guess the decision to put Prince on the cover was made because he's the most famous.
Secondly, Udo asked a perfectly normal question. I was wondering the same thing. I'm an old fashioned guy, I like I like to read books, not those e-reader thingys.

Thank you, that's better. You can ask questions without treating the OP like he did something wrong by doing a Kindle book..... nod

Want to update everyone that the book is now available in hardcopy, which is something lots of people requested. You'll also notice a new cover (some were not keen on the Prince cover and I did not want it to seem like I was exploiting his passing - but that initial eBook-only version is still available on Amazon for those interested; now it's a collector's item ha ha.) and there are some other additions inside too, like a Funk Final Exam at the end. As well, the eBook version has had its price reduced.

Please enjoy and pass the word!
