Funk
James Brown - The One - counting the beat a particular way
black pride, black focus, black audience - it crossed over on its own
whites got into it for its own sake - there was no white translator
Other black performers get into it
Sly and the Family Stone - drug influenced - San Francisco
integrated - white and black
Stax Records - Aretha Franklin
integrated black and white band and black singers
reverse of Motown
try to sound blacker, whereas Motown tried to clean up that black sound
Soul
soul music was a religious based music
right out of the black church
intense and powerful and considered nasty -
the singers who sang about god switched over to singing about love or romance
There was a reaction to all the dark, nasty, drug-fueled weird music and it was a really strange thing.
Country - Rock - reaction to what’s going
Gram Parsons
The Flying Burrito Bros
Neil Young
The Band
CCR
THE 1970s!
this is one of the most disturbing decades of all time
why?
The music industry has become HUGE business.
Records are ENORMOUS business
How does a band compete in this growing, bursting crazy market?

sexy
weird

Kiss cashed in on the glam scene
Alice Cooper - horror + glam
everybody got in on the act
Blame the 60s Alternative
Velvet Underground
The Doors
The Stooges
Acid Rock
- heavy rock with a glam touch and a druggy vibe

AOR - (yacht rock)
