Funk
Funk

Chocolate Milk is a Funk act. Their sound grew out of Kool & The Gang, Earth Wind and Fire and Trevor Taylor. Those roots explain a lot about how Chocolate Milk arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Brick, Skyy, The Dramatics, The Bar-Kays and Rufus, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Eric B. & Rakim and Stetsasonic, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Chocolate Milk, reaching back through Kool & The Gang and forward to Eric B. & Rakim.
