Badd Kitti closes out 2023 by looking back at the Funk & Soul hits of 1973.
1973 was a BREAKOUT year for Funk. Funk rhythms, if not raw funk itsself, had by then influenced almost every form of contemporary music.
Not only are longtime favorites like the Temptations, Gladys Knight, and even the Jackson 5 releasing funk infused records, but the chart topping success of Kool and the Gang, The Ohio Players, Barry White and the dominance of the Philly Sound, proves that this new sound is a force to be reckoned with.
