George Though is the Godfather of funk not James Brown, he contributed but does not get that title. George Deserves it more and he has done alot for the music industry funk wise than anyone else, anyone.....................
Keep That Funk Going Mr. Godfather of funk George Clinton
Well, is knowed the Brown's 'big Ego', by called himself "The Godfather Of Soul" he was despite the contrib. to the Birth of Soul from SAM COOKE, and specially RAY CHARLES ("I Got A Woman" 1954)
The True ROOT OF FUNK CAME FROM NEW ORLEANS R&B (See 'HOMEOFTHEGROOVE.BLOGSPOT dotCOM).
All critics say "COLD SWEAT" WAS THE 1ST TRUE FUNK RECORD.
George Clinton is the most sampled artist today!..check it out!!

True, but George further refined Funk...Funk isn't invented, it's a force that changes with the human race

Great, but the error is calling to george the "father of funk" if the funky music has invented by JAMES BROWN 3 YEARS BEFORE THE FUNKADELIC.
