Continued Fuzionz Interview With Owner, Pamela
And then there are the movie posters. In my opinion, some of the greatest art created was on the posters from this genre.
Posters like this aren’t made any more. Actors actually posed while artists painted them and scenes from the films. This is
truly a lost art form.
Fuzionz: Over the years, what changes have you seen in the “uncut funk” world or just in general from back then until
now.
Pamela: Back then we had musicians who played instruments and could read music. We were dealing with the after affects
of the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon, Heroin, The Women’s Movement and so on. Artists created
music and films that dealt with real issues…music had meaning…you felt it because you were living it.
To me the music industry has become too obsessed with how artists look. Talent does not matter as the sound is fixed in
the recording studio.
Everything is sampled or borrowed. No one makes original music any more. Black music has lost it’s soul, it’s beat, it is all
techno now.
Fuzionz: To our younger crowd that is interested in the “uncut funk” scene what advice would you them to keep the legacy
moving? (because they are our future)
Pamela: Visit the site, listen to the music, watch the films and find out more about 1970’s Black culture, the foundation
