I first became aware of Parliament through the album 'Mothership Connection'. All things Funkadelic, George Clinton, and P Funk naturally would follow. To be honest at that time in the 1970's my personal music taste was dominated by rock and punk and the whole new wave thing here in the UK.
However Parliament were one of those 'cross over' bands, that I expect registered with more than just me, a stereotypical rock music fan of the era. Trying to separate George Clinton, Parliament and Funkadelic in the late seventies is a tricky business, so I will take the convenient way out, along with many others and treat them as one act.
Music purists can find out more about the Mothership Connection album HERE, Parliament HERE, or visit George Clinton's My Space site HERE. George Clinton and Parliament / Funkadelic continue to tour and astound as I type this post, (and have done so, for along time after this originally appeared on Beehive Candy).
