Początkowy, lecz już wyraźnie ukształtowany heavy metal, można zaobserwować w muzyce grup Led Zeppelin i Black Sabbath. Jeśli chodzi o korzenie, to jedni upatrują prototypu utworu heavymetalowego w piosence The Beatles "Helter-Skelter" (z Białego Albumu) lub The Kinks "You Really Got Me", inni zaś za pierwsze utwory protoheavymetalowe uznają przeboje grupy The Dave Clark Five, szczególnie "Any Way You Want It" i "Glad All Over" z 1964 roku. Zresztą nurt zapoczątkowany przez The Dave Clark Five nazywa się heavy drum albo heavy bass, od ciężkiego, hałaśliwego i agresywnego brzmienia.

K.c. And The Sunshine Band - Play That Funky Music White Boy
Hey, give it to me now
yeah, hey
yeah, once i was a boogie singer
playing in a rock-n-roll band
I never had no problems
(yeah)
rolling down the one night stands
and everything around me
(yeah)
got me starting to feel so low
then everything so happened so quickly
(Yes it did)

to disco down and check out the show
and they were dancin'
and singin'
and movin' 2 the groovin'
and just when
it hit me
somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie
and play that funky music till you die
( till you die )
(oh yeah)

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of there minds
baby how i be so foolish
(oh girl)
to not see that i was leaving behind
so still i kept on fighting
losing every step of the way
i said i must go back there
(got to go back)
and see if things are still the same

yeah,
they were dancin'
and singin'
and movin' 2 the groovin'
and just when
it hit me
somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie
and play that funky music till you die Miłosz Czesław wiersze białko Rilke Rainer Maria wiersze Świrszczyńska Anna wiersze Przerwa-Tetmajer Kazimierz wiersze
