" Washington D.C. in the 80s: The lines between ghetto and gentrification were so stark, even the funkiest music going couldn&amp;#039;t cross over. The sound is go-go, a continuous house-party groove of intricately plaited rhythms and call-and-response chants. Like with Bill Monroe and bluegrass, the style was essentially created by one man: Chuck Brown, who began developing the nonstop sound to keep D. C. church halls and rec centers dancing. (He couldn&amp;#039;t play bars without violating his parole.) You can hear what Brown started in &amp;#039;78 with &amp;quot;Bustin&amp;#039; Loose&amp;quot; still percolating in songs like Beyonc\u00E9&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Crazy in Love.&amp;quot; The new We&amp;#039;re About the Business is the 71-year-old Brown&amp;#039;s lion-in-winter growl. Don&amp;#039;t fight it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
