🎵 Featured Artists & Controversies

15. The Jacksons (Post-Motown Era)
A rebirth in real time — family funk, global pop, and the pressure of Michael’s rising star.

14. The Bee Gees
From ballad kings to disco lightning rods. Criticism aside, their harmonies influenced R&B forever.

13. Ohio Players
Risqué album covers, thunderous horns, and grooves that shaped ’90s hip-hop.

12. Funkadelic
George Clinton’s psychedelic revolution — genius to some, chaos to others.

Falsettos, strings, and soft-soul romance that later built the boy-band blueprint.

10. Kool & the Gang
From raw funk to chart-topping pop — evolution, controversy, and timeless samples.

Cosmic, spiritual, genre-bending. Critics didn’t get it. Artists who followed did.

8. The Isley Brothers
Sensual grooves, radio blushes, and the sample library that never stops giving.

Street poetry, Latin-rock fusion, and songs that told the truth about the block.

Lionel Richie’s pen changed everything — fans debated, the world listened.

5. Labelle
Theatrical, futuristic, revolutionary. Space-couture soul before anyone imagined it.

4. Sly & the Family Stone
Integration, psychedelic funk, and the rise—and rumble—of a musical visionary.

3. Parliament
Funk mythology, basslines that changed production forever, and George Clinton’s joyful chaos.
