Hollywood Icons of the 70s & 80s: How Did They Age?

5 FORGOTTEN NAMES OF 1970s BLACK FUNK MUSIC - This set highlights five forgotten architects of 1970s funk: Mandrill, The Blackbyrds, The Jimmy Castor Bunch, Fatback Band, and Slave. These groups shaped the sound of modern Black music through Afro‑Caribbean fusion, jazz‑funk innovation, iconic breakbeats, early hip‑hop rhythms, and legendary basslines. Though heavily sampled and foundational to hip‑hop and R&B, their contributions remain under‑recognized today. #blackmusic #funk #funkmusic #70smu
