Billy Dee Williams

I had an opportunity to meet Billy Dee Williams at Comic Con in Philly and take a picture with him. He was a extremely approachable and when I mentioned the Museum of UnCut Funk he expressed an interest in our project and wanted to know more about what we were doing.

Where Are They Now!!!

The 1970s produced the film genre that would become known as ‘Blaxploitation’. These films were made specifically with an urban Black audience in mind. These movies were larger-than-life, action-packed and full of funk and soul music. These films also incorporated progressive social and political commentary. From Pam Grier to Bill Cosby, check out who delved into this genre and what the actors have been doing since the 1970s.

The FUNKY Top-10 for 2009

As I list my Top-10 for 2009, find there were not of albums I really loved. Maybe I missed a few, or were we just so saturated in 2008 that a lot of the good music from then just carried over into to last year. In any case, here are my favorites…
