In this 2001 radio archive interview, funk icon Dawn Silva joins Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley to reflect on her groundbreaking career in funk music. Dawn discusses the creation of her debut CD All My Funky Friends, her collaborations with De La Vance, and the enduring influence of Sly Stone and James Brown. She shares stories from her time with Parliament-Funkadelic and The Brides of Funkenstein, touring throughout Europe, and defining the culture, humor, and legacy of funk. A timeless conversation with one of funk’s most influential voices.

🎙️ Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley features legendary and emerging funk, R&B, and Prince-associated artists. On air since 1982 and now spanning five decades, the show was personally spotlighted by Prince on his website in 2004. He also gifted us the One Nite Alone box set in 2002 — before any other media outlet.
