Classic and Rare Soul Sisters 50s - 70s Funky Fashion! – Revivalist Music There was a time not so long ago when artists were as concerned about their performance, their persona, and their outfits, in addition to the funky grooves that they were sending out into the airwaves. The Revivalist shares with you our favorite images of funk fashion royalty, artists who have carried trends over the decades, and pioneered aesthetic choices and started trends, while simultaneously audaciously declaring their identity through their choice of clothing. Betty Davis, Miles’ former wife, and the person who introduced him to the music of James Brown and Jimi Hendrix, and ultimately influenced his experimentation into a new genre coined “fusion.” Earth Wind & Fire, the band who’s dynamic sound encompassed Latin and African influences, alongside rock, soul and funk music. George Clinton, a fashion pioneer in his own right, and parallels the earlier futuristic aesthetics of Sun Ra. Betty Davis again, ever provocative, always intriguing. Don’t sleep on Stevie Wonder.
