Chuck Brown

This D.C. bandleader is a pioneer of go-go music, a funk relative that routinely draws on
Latin percussion and daubs of jazz and soul. Groovewise, it's hard to argue with most of
We're About the Business: warm, party-hearty stuff like "Eye Candy," plus "Chuck Baby,"
which sets Chuck's rapper daughter, KK, over a beat that splits the difference between
old-school hip-hop and New Orleans funk. But still: See him live.
