The Funk and Soul Years

Craig launches new feature The Funk and Soul Years, which starts off in 1965, a huge year for the funk and soul scene.

Craig launches 'The Funk & Soul Years', which will run throughout 2015. We'll be starting off in 1965, which was a huge year for the Funk & Soul Scene. James Brown was teaching us to do it on the 1. Wilson Pickett had been sent down to Memphis to learn how to get 'down and dirty'. And you can't look at the Funk & Soul Years in the mid-60s without looking at the state of the American nation. 1965 was a huge year, a year that saw the Selma Marches, The Watts Riots and the Voting Rights Act prohibiting racial discrimination in voting.
