In 1936, someone began to play the piccolo at a Paul Whiteman concert, and the audience rose to their feet as one and began to do the Charleston. The police had to be called, and thus funk was born.
  8:56pm
Dean:

Holy bologna! The earliest meaning of funky, per OED, is " Having a strong or offensive smell; esp. (a) smelling of sweat or other bodily excretions; musky, pungent, rank; (b) (of food or drink) having a rich, intense, or overripe smell (or flavour); (also) rancid, mouldy. Now chiefly U.S."

...putzing around in Search - the definition of funk meaning cowering in fear might relate to the meaning as in sulking in depression ('in a funk') - with a bit of conceptual migration...

There are no fewer than ten entries for the word "funk," never mind the variations, in OED. It's a word with a legacy.

The word "funkadelic" appears in 1969. Reference is to Stevie Wonder. Entry reads, "Designating music which is both funky and psychedelic. In later use: spec. characteristic of or designating a style of popular music associated with the band ‘Funkadelic’, which combines funk with elements derived from soul and psychedelic rock (such as the use of highly amplified guitars and a heavy drum beat). Also as n.: music of this type."

Of course, they fail to mention the piccolo.

The more common a word is, the more meanings it has. This (which is true) causes a lot of trouble.
(The generalization applies to content words, not function words.)

If you like music and I know you like music you're going to LOVE Sam Segal and his music-forward program, "If You Lose Your Horse"! Tonight's program, "When My Horse Was Eleven," begins, confusingly, not at 11:00, but in 15 minutes, at 10:00 pm. Don't miss it! wfmu.org...

Musically, it seems like there is a difference between funk and funky?

Words like prepositions, auxiliary verbs, articles, etc. It is way too late for this. I am going to delete my earlier comment.
