Funk was developed in the late 1960ies, fusing elements of Soul, R&B and Jazz to a more rhythm-based, repetitive kind of danceable music. Syncopic basslines or slap bass, accented horns and rhythm guitar and rather percussive vocals are typical elements in Funk. Popular early works were done by James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone and The Isley Brothers.
