One of the great misconceptions of popular music is that 'funk' was invented in Motown in the 1960s. Today I attended a recital where it was conclusively demonstrated that on the contrary, it is a development in English music of the 18th century.
Here is a picture from today's recital by The Commodores (feat. Admiral Sir Lionel Richy) performing their popular number Heroes: <http://www.web-options.com/Commodores.jpg> Man, those boys are mighty white! That damnable Frenchy Voltaire said that the English thought it good to hang an Admiral from time to time, to encourage the others. That fellow at the back is showing that some admirals at least were very well hung indeed.
