Black Music Month Spotlight: Parliament Funkadelic
My spotlight today in Parliament Funkadelic. Parliament-Funkadelic is a funk, soul and rock music group headed by George Clinton. Their style has been dubbed P-Funk. Collectively the group has existed since the 1960s. They influenced numerous post-disco and post-punk music groups of the 1980s and 1990s.
By the early 1980s, Clinton consolidated the groups multiple projects and continued touring under the names "George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars" or "George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic."
Sixteen members of Parliament-Funkadelic were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. The popularity of Parliament-Funkadelic led to the widespread use of the term "P-Funk" to describe a genre of music in its own right. From Wikipedia, the freeencyclopedia.
