Writer Michael A. Gonzales on the rise & fall of funk bands...http://www.ebony.com/entertainment-culture/death-of-the-funk-bands-420#axzz2ZyzYMw5X
I mean all those bands had issues with money; people gettin paid in cars, drugs, afro sheen, etc.That's why we barely see New Edition style groups anymore, let alone 10 piece funk troupes. Plus funk was associated with being wild and drugged out at a time when black folks where on that Chic, "look like you got some class" type image.
