Dawn Silva
The Funk Queen an Autobiography by Dawn Silva is one of the most unusual books ever written. The arc of history is long, but bends towards justice. Hailed by scholars, music critics, fans and educators alike as an “Academic Masterpiece” with enough Music, History, and Culture to be taught on college campuses for decades. Dawn Silva as the core member of three of the most impressive Funk bands ever assembled, Sly Stone, Parliament Funkadelic and The Brides Of Funkenstein, was born in Sacramento, California. She added her voice to a string of Platinum and Gold selling records with sold-out concerts around the world. Silva has written a piece of history that has never been told in this manner, until now. The singer, songwriter, now published author, pulls you on stage with her amid the fog, pyrotechnics, polyphonic vocals, augmentations and arguments. Her writing's so vivid that it will feel as though you were there, witnessing every hilarious, shocking, sad, terrifying, and exceptional moment.
