Subject: Antedating of "Funk" (Verb, Music)

funk, v1 (music) ()ED 1967)

1966 Louisiana Weekly (New Orleans) 3 Sept. 10/1 (Newspapers.com)

Gloria's living room opened with a blast last week.  Willie "T" funked the place out with his hot.  His organ was as hot as a 45' at sundown in a gun battle at boot hill.  Complimenting the group are, Clarence Brown on drums, Earl Turbinton, also and fire brand George Davis, guitar.
