About
ConFunkShun has carried the torch of funk music for over four decades, and continues to be one of the most recognized bands in the genre today. Their chart-topping discography has influenced scores of artists and lives on through the new generation.
Formed in Vallejo in 1969 as Project Soul, the band soon expanded to a seven-piece and moved to Memphis to backup The Soul Children. In 1976, they signed to Mercury Records as ConFunkShun, and released a star-studded collection of eleven albums in the next ten years. With iconic hits like “Got to Be Enough” and legendary slow-jams like “Love’s Train,” the band assured their place in funk history, with four albums going gold, and one platinum. Their singles continue to receive steady radio airtime today....
