BBC iPlayer - We Want The Funk - US PBS Documentary

First shown on PBS in the Usa back in April this year, this 81 minute documentary was recently shown on BBC2, and so is now available for a year plus on BBC iPlayer, the link follows the release notes below..

Release Notes

WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the story also traces funk's influences on both new wave and hip-hop.

Only just caught this when it was shown , well worth a watch, some good insights into the development of the genre.

I watched it too, expecting that it was one I'd seen before and that I just didn't recognise the title, but obviously not. It was really good, as @Twoshoes says, interesting insights, and for once, interesting talking heads too.
