post discussing it's evolution and the different styles incorporated with it as it became a popular sound in Black music...

I mean we all know the highlights.... Pfunk and Bernie and them using it on Flashlight..... Stevie Wonder..... you know another angle is 2 guys who went on to use it pretty well during it's hey day had connections to Stevie in Ray Parker Jr.(Raydio) and Michael Henderson particularly with Wide Reciever....

some lesser known artists used it well during that time like Jerry Knight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEQHEuPFGB8

then of course the eletro funk era....the synth bass interplay with the drums, where later you start to see the concept of making "beats" from that sound...

getting into that area of hip hop coming from Funk..... the Rise of Prince .....

lots of interesting elements to this topic...
