According to the dictionary, REVOLUTION means: A Major Change. The Absence Of...The Recognition Of...The Impact Of ---- Funk Music --- All Over The World. Funk music has never received the acclaim that is obscenely over-due. Funk needs a rejuvenation injection! It needs to be RE-positioned and
RE-spected for it's impact as a MOVEMENT, without which, music would not be what it is today. Two true-s
chool OGs of funk, Patryce "Choc'let" Banks and StozoTheKlown have joined forces to decree and declare a FONK-O-LUTION: A Major Change in Fonk! Patryce "Choc'let" Banks, original lead female vocalist of Graham Central Station, and Queen of the "Funk Box", helped define Funkology for generations to come. Led by Sly and The Family Stone's former bassist, Larry Graham, GCS brought new meaning to the live experience of "fonk" with classic tunes like "Can You Handle It", "The Jam" and "Feel the Need". GCS' be-bop flavored ballad, "Your Love" fronted by Banks, helped propel the group to #1 on the R&B charts in 1975. Ronald "Stozo The Clown" Edwards, has been known to be a cartoonist and class clown since the 2nd grade in elementary school. He is also famous for his art covers for many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honorees such as; George Clinton, Parliament-Funkadelic, members of Sly & The Family Stone, Zapp, James Brown and many others.Stozo The Clown is also a music producer and entertainer performing and producing with some of the top names in the history of music. These two funk legends have joined forces and launched: "Choclet Klown". Choclet Klown is kicking off this movement with a fresh Fonk sign. The sign is simply, but profoundly, the letter "F" used in hand sign language.
The goal is to ensure our music goes down in history as the essential element that it is. NOW is the time for those of you who love fonk music to be willing to make a change! The Fonk-o-lution will not be televised, but it can be viral-ized! Remember, we're all in this together. "Fonk-O-Lutionaries" UNITE! The optional Fonk sign (also notice the revised spelling of "funk") is only the beginning. May the fonk be with you and….stay tooned!
