Description

Funk: The Music, the People, and the Rhythm of the OneFunk: It's the only musical genre ever to have transformed the nation into a throbbing army of bell bottomed, hoop earringed, rainbow Afro'd warriors on the dance floor. Its rhythms and lyrics turned bleak urban realties inside out with distinctive, danceable, downright irresistable music. Funk hasn't received the critical attention that rock, jazz, and the blues have until now. Colorful, intelligent, and in you face, Rickey Vincent's Funk celebrates

Funk: It's the only musical genre ever to have transformed the nation into a throbbing army of bell-bottomed, hoop-earringed, rainbow-Afro'd warriors on the dance floor. Its rhythms and lyrics turned bleak urban realties inside out with distinctive, danceable, downright irresistable music.

Funk hasn't received the critical attention that rock, jazz, and the blues have-until now. Colorful, intelligent, and in-you-face, Rickey Vincent's Funk celebrates the songs, the musicians, the philosophy, and the meaning of funk. The book spans from the early work of James Brown (the Godfather of Funk) through today, covering funky soul (Stevie Wonder, the Temptations), so-called black rock (Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, the Isely Brothers), jazz-funk (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock), monster funk (Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band), naked funk (Rick James, Gap Band), disco-funk (Chic, K.C. and the Sunshine Band), funky pop (Kook & the Gang, Chaka Khan), P-Funk Hip Hop (Digital Underground, De La Soul), funk-sampling rap (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre), funk rock (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus), and more.

Funk tells a vital, vibrant history-the history of a uniquely American music born out of tradition and community, filled with energy, attitude, anger, hope, and an irrepressible spirit.

Smells weird
Scent: For Oily Skin, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This works fine for what it does, but it definitely has a strong odor that I find very unpleasant.

This is for people who have dryer skin
Scent: Dermaplane Kit, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I did not realize that they made oil for dermaplaning. I've tried dermoplaning myself and on my dry skin it was very sensitive and it hurt. But this oil is amazing it's not too oily it soaks into your skin very well sometimes I put it on and don't even dermaplane. But to use it for the dermaplaning is wonderful. My skin turns out very nice and a soft and not sore and cut.

Permanent Residence of the Holy Spirit
Format: Kindle
For most of my life I have lived with the impression that as David says in Psalm 51:11 - the Holy Spirit would be taken away from me when I succumbed to sin. This reading helped me discover that - no matter what - the Holy Spirit is with me. Only recently have I begun to understand the need to release the Holy Spirit from the place I’ve kept Him locked away. Though I attend a Pentecostal church now, the teaching of the church of my youth has clouded my understanding of the Holy Spirit dwelling and working within me. This reading has given me a strategy for embracing the Holy Spirit in a new, fuller way. I highly recommend this book as well as another one of his “Dressed to Kill” a thorough in depth depiction of each piece of armor described by Paul in Ephesians 6.
