After 3 pages of this thread, It has dawned on me that most of the USA has been totally funked up during The Funk's peak in American Music History.

Duh. It wasn't just one place.

Don't start!! Duh, we know.

You might say it was born in Macon,Ga where James Brown made his mark at, but raised in Cincinatti,OH which was the home of King Records James Brown's label at the time where he laid down blueprints to funk like "Licking Stick" and "Hot Pants". Oh yeah and Cincy also happens to be the home of these brothers called The Isleys and another set of brothers called Collins with weird names like Bootsy and Phelps and a sister named Lynn

So the roots of funk from where?

different places?

The roots of funk (and music in general) I can't tie to a state. Rock music has a lot of birthplaces and so does funk music.

Again, lemme correct you:

JAMES was born in Barnwell, South Carolina, RAISED in Augusta, Georgia, only recorded occasionally in King Studios, he actually recorded most of his music in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and other Southern cities. Bobby Byrd was from Toccoa, Georgia. The Isley Brothers created their funk between New York and New Jersey (and briefly in California). Lynn Collins is NOT Bootsy and Catfish's sister, she's from Abilene, Texas. And the Collins brothers created their funk with JB and 'em in the South and with P-Funk in Detroit.

Nevermind, I see this has already been covered!

I know James was born in South Carolina, but if you ever drove thru there you might as well say Augusta since most of those towns are one light and two left turns over to each other. Let us also remember he had as many orgins to his birthdate/place as Ray Charles had kids.lol If ever you ask anyone born and raised in Macon during the 50's they can tell you about the days when James, Otis Redding, and Little Richard were in direct competition with each other. Shit, if the walls of Douglass Auditoruim could talk you might hear their bands goin at it lol Yes The Isleys recorded a lot at Bearsville Studios NY and they lived in Teneack, NJ for many years, but the orgins of their funk started at home with their family in Cincy. My bad on Lynn bein their sister, but while Bootsy and Catfish may have recorded their best known JB music in the south and later on Detroit with George Clinton, they were already well known around Cincy in the band The Pacesetters.

Wrong! Little Richard said he invented R&R in Macon, GA. Anything else BEFORE that was simply rhythm & blues (r&b).
