"WE WANT THE FUNK!" is Stanley Nelson's syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, George Clinton's extraterrestrial Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the story also traces funk's influences on new wave and hip-hop.
