An early merger of the country music of Hank Williams and the gospel of the Soul Stirrers gave us the R&B of Ray Charles, which in turn spawned the 50’s R&B of James Brown and Sam Cooke, the 60’s soul of Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin, and the late 60’s funk of Sly & the Family Stone. The 70’s brought in the funk of George Clinton,the soul of the Spinners and the Commodores, the disco of Chic and Sister Sledge. This gave way in the 80’s to the dance music of Michael Jackson and the Gap Band, the 90’s dance music of Janet Jackson and Boys 2 Men,
and the hip hop of the new millenium.
