1970s Gang Music?

[Kdr.]

Anyone know any bands, singers, music that the gang's of New York during the 70s listened to?

Any ex members or current members of 70s gangs on here ?
Always curious about that.

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies

I'm not a gang member or anything but in my opinion I think that they had been listening to Soul, Rock and Funk music.

James Brown does the music for it.
