Finding the Funk is a road trip in search of the past, present and future of Funk music. Starting with Funks roots in Jazz and the James Brown bands of the 60s we travel to the Bay Area to celebrate Sly u0026amp; the Family Stone, then to Dayton the birthplace of so many of Funks originators, then onto Detroit where from the ashes of Motown, P-Funks Mothership arose, and then to LA where a new crop of musicians are creating their own Funk history. On our journey into Funk, we talk to legends Sly Stone, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Nona Hendryx, Maceo Parker, Bernie Worrell, and Steve Arrington and their descendants Mike D, DAngelo, Sheila E, Shock G and Sades Stuart Matthewman. Narrated by Ahmir Questlove Thompson of the Roots.
