Hi,

This will be more on the academic tip than music, but it's on point (I
think). I'm a student at the U of Florida (ick!) and I'm working on a
project on the spectrum of music from the 70s to today (essentially, from
funk to hip-hop and acidjazz). My question is: are there any sorts of books
on funk? I know of several hiphop texts (but if anyone can help me find
the KRS One book I'd be really grateful) but when it comes to the funk, I
just can't find anything. Granted, most academics have no funk, but you'd
think *someone* would have put something out there. If anyone can point
me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Peace!
