Pictured to the left, colorful dude, who is he? George Clinton, King of Funk. One of the remarkable aspects of funk music is that its syncopated rhythms are easy to dance to, making it fun for weddings and other events. Funk employs complex rhythms while incorporating simple song structures. Powerful, rhythm-oriented instruments such as horns and bass and even violins on occasion are all used to create a danceable beat. Notable bassists include Bootsy Collins and George Porter, Jr.
