George Clinton stole the money left that management didn't steal. Raped the woman singers. Its all documented. I felt the darkness in the mid 70s. It was poison. If you band mates say , slipping away on a ship of fools who had a capitan who changed all the rules.... There's a problem
In 66 I moved to Wash, DC as a skinny white boy who went to school in Cali with two black kids and one Hispanic ….at that time DC was 90% African American and my world was turned upside down with Aretha, Wilson Pickett, JB and of course Parliament Funkadelic !! At 13 I was playing drums in “ soul bands” and attending as many concerts as my folks would allow. Quick story… as George said he’d just stand up there and blurt out all kinds of chants that the audience would return. At DC Armory he started chanting…” kick that honky in the ass !and everyone shouted back”but I couldn’t hear him….then I could!!😂😂😂 I and my 3 friends were the only white people there!! So we started chanting right back….it was an illuminating experience being in an all Black affair and feeling different,,,as a teen it opened my eyes. The concerts were always chill and welcoming …. truly the Black hippie expressionism!! It’d last four hours😂 DC was an amazing place for music back then!!! Roberta Flack, Les McCann, Disco, Emmy Lou Harris, Go Go music,,,
Funk, I was born in 61, and it was the soundtrack of my childhood and beyond. God, it was glorious! You'll never know how good it was if you weren't there.
one night I was out partying and I live in Minneapolis Mn. And A friend of mine worked out at Prince's house and one night. I ended up with George Clinton after we left there. And somehow we ended up going back to my house and we were tripping on acid and then George starts smoking crack And we're sitting in the limo waiting for my wife to go to work. So I said well, f*** it, let's go to my house.My wife's going to work. And We Watched my wife leave and get on the Metro transit So we go inside my house and we were there for about 30 minutes. and my wife comes back somehow even though we seen her get on the Transit bus. My wife walks in and I'm like Hey, baby.This is George Clinton and she said I don't give a fuck if it's Bill Clinton He gotta get the fuck out of here and then i'm like oh man let's get the fuck out of here and we all left. I used to run into all kinds of artists out at princess's house.Because my partner was a securitrgard for Prince. I still can't believe she embarrassed me In front of George Clinton.😂 .@@asafaust8869
Funk is the thing that holds the whole world together, without the funk, there is no music, without the funk, there is no anything.. I refuse to be a Sir Nose, i will never be D-void of Funk, Nobody can take that funk away!
Thank God for these guys......... you can feel the ACID metling the spirt of Hendrix, the need to dance, the politics the party in the mind the rock and The Artist Formally Known as prince taking it all in......... Rest in Purple Prince.... but all hail the original genius funkadelics............ : ))
I FIRST saw Pfunk in the Casablanca record sleeve liners that came with Kiss albums in the 70s and thought "WHO are these CRAZY looking people?" and then looked at Kiss and thought, "Anyone who can get all made up in costume has GOT to be good" and bought some Pfunk recordz.....and it changed my LIFE! I got to sing backup with George around 2005 for a pfunk allstars show, it was a highlight of my life!
First time ever seeing P-Funk live: Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, SC, Feb. 1978. I watched that show thinking I was having an out of body experience. Never forget it as long as I live.
I was there! In the mid 70’s through mid 80’s there were some of biggest and best bands come through the Carolina Coliseum I went to them all from Prince, Jackson 5, Barkays, Con Funk Shun, Brick, Commodores, Lakeside, Shalamar, Brothers Johnson, Cameo, Mass Production , Zapp and many more! What a time!!!
George Clinton, thanks for all that you have done in the music industry. My life will always be connected to the P-Funk, because I was lucky enough to be there as a kid in the beginning. I never will forget the crazy days back in New Jersey and the memories of some of the greatest musicians still on Earth and some that have passed on. Thanks again for making my life a funky music opera!!.
I have met with George and the boys back in the 70s and played a sample of so my ideas I had when they came to my college campus to do a show. They influence my keyboard and bass playing and my jamnanation mentality. All praises due to the funk.
Although I totally get it now that George Cliton is a freakin phenom and fuckin Pure Genius in his full eccentricity, I was scared as hell of him as a little kid. My family was really into Parliment and anytime I'd see clips of this group like the ones in this video, I'd cry my ass off and run to my room and be scared for hours on end. Lol!
Always loved Funk, Rock, RB, etc and knew of Mr. Clinton and his bands for years, but I can't believe after 40 some years I just got FUNKAFIED! Awesome! I wish I could go back in time!
I had the chance to see George just a few years ago, and let me tell you the man is still funking as hard today as he was back in the 60's. I grew up in Detroit and was privileged to have been able to hear all this beautiful music first hand.
The kid with the orange shirt, playing basketball was my cousin William (RIP). He was a dancer for LaRoc Bey African Ensamble back in the '70's. Will was a fantastic dancer, ladies man and "good with his hands". The family loves you always Lil Will.
I was in middle school when I started listening to these guys. Yes, I was knee deep into The Parliament and Funkadelics, and I must say, they were definitely ahead of their time. The sounds were unique to me, and for a child hearing the nursery rhymes, the cartoon art on the albums, we had no clue what we were in for, but my as I got older and started really listening to the lyrics, all the funny sounds, and background lyrics, it was pure funk, just mesmerized my little brain. Without them, the 70's and 80's would've been dead. Now, at the ripe age of 65, they still have my heart, and I'll always cherish those fun days. You guys brought so much to the table, it's really hard to pick my favor, but if I had to, it would definitely be Maggot Brain. I'll forever love these guys, and of course the genius, George Clinton.❤️❤️❤️ And let me not forget, Bootsy, Bootsie! Lol
Glassboro NJ,,,1973 My oldest sister sneaks me into a crowded college gym where P Funk is performing. Thick weed smoke. In fact, my first joint. Like 35 people on stage including George Clinton in a diaper, a Viking on drums, ghostly looking dancers and "streakers" .....In the middle of song number 3...the lights come on, the music stops. The stage is flooded with officials and police. Somehow, the quaint little town quickly voted that P Funk was "obsene, beneath community standards.'' OR too many strange looking Black people in one place. .......Although the show was shut down, we only got 3 songs, I became a obsessed fan of this band.
I've seen P-Funk in concert and grew up with their music, but I never knew the entire story of Parliament or heard any of their stuff before. It's fantastic. Funk rock... it should be a thing.
My grandad who could be considered as a borderline hoarder was showing me some things in his house, he literally has stacks upon stacks that are as high as the ceiling of vinyls in his attic, he got Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove out and played it on one of his record players, I fell in love with it and he let me have it. The creativity is outstanding, George is such a cool guy, and to say he is still performing at 70-something years old. He has to be one of the most dedicated artists out there, he deserves his success. Music artists out there now aint shit on george's diamond encrusted shoe compared to Funkadelic
If he has a collection like you described, then he has the stories that come along with them, cherish the music, but cherish your grandfather even more! May the "Funk" be with you!
Haha, just rediscovered this comment, I went to see Parliament last year, and was thrilled to see that George was coming back to my City this year...but then Corona hit. Maybe next year 😂
after hearing George Clinton for the first time in 1981 at age 4, i named my new little kitten George (despite my kittens girly bits). oh, and George lived for 19 years... screw 9 lives, she had the Pfunk.
I've been to concerts where I've been Stone sober but the music was so good and I was sober but felt like I was high when I left this is one of those groups
In the mid 90’s the band I was with played the house of blues the night after the P Funk all stars, I was sitting on the couch in the green room and noticed a feather stuck between the cushion and the couch and realized that George had been sitting in that spot the night before and It fell off of his headdress, I still have it, one of coolest things that happened to me during my time in the music biz.
I never knew the whole history. I thought they just came about in the 1970s! How interesting! I have a Parliament CD and my kids love it, now they're finding out why lol.
I absolutely love this documentary! Of all the ones I've seen on Parliament-Funkadelic, this is my favorite of them all. I love how this documentary digs deep into their orgins, their creative process with songs, the elaborate stage shows and their influence on music in equal measure. It seems it will hard to accomplish that with a one hour documentary, but this one pulls it off nicely. I also love how the documentary allow the band members to tell the story without a narrator. Well done!
I remember watching this on PBS...one of the BEST things that has ever been on tv......other Independent Lens episodes are available on DVD, how come this one isn't (at least not the last time I checked) ?
I'm on a natural high watching this. I just love it. I was a cheerleader in the 70's and we made cheers up on these songs! Taking me back to the best times and era of my life!❤🤩
that was such a awesome time back then. when music spoke to ya. reached down and grabbed ya by the soul and lifted ya up and made ya smile. you the man George Clinton.
I had the opportunity to see this group in the 70's. They were outstanding! Their album covers remind me of Star Wars. They were out there in space spiritually and mentally for real.
I cried looking at this doc it's what I grew up listening to it's what my older brother's listening to it brings back memories and when I was coming in the 90s I already knew where it came from😎💯❤❤
This was a great documentary for George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic groups. It brought back memories and the real story of how they evolved as well as descended. But what a hell of a ride. We can never forget what they brought to us!!!
It's so cool you can trace world history, especially United States history by African American music, and know which period time, war events, politics things were. This was a great share, because I didn't know all the musicians and shifts George Clinton had given us. The correlation to hip hop and funk's core elements that impacted culture was such a revelation. Dope!!!
All of these Artists really Respected each other and Supported each other. No Shooting and getting upset because someone dissed you. Some beautiful memories that I will never forget about.
AWWW!! THIS TOOK ME BACK TO THE DAYS OF BEING BACK IN HIGHSCHOOL AND ME AND GLORIA JACKS GOIN TO THE KIEL AUDITORIUM TO SEE BOOTSEY'S RUBBER BAND, PARLIMENT FUNKADELLIC AND THE TICKETS ONLY COST....25.00!!!
My first and my last true Funk Band. They made me want to be a musician because they always sounded like they was having more fun in the world they created while parodying the real world, and as long as we didn't fake the funk we were all invited to come play in it. Thank you George and the whole P-Funk Nation, my youth was a blast because of y'all.
This was awesome. To see, and hear about the origins of Parliament/Funksdelic is truly captivating. I was a kid when they were doing their Thang, but I got it. Thank you for sharing this
Man, they were so cool in the early '70s. Love all the characters of the late '70s too, but the disco sound was less my thing than the psych rock. So cool how he juggled all those groups & record labels without giving up an ounce of his personality. Never bowed to anyone. That's pretty rare in the music biz. The '80s were too lame for P-Funk.
Fast forward 33 years and this whole issue of being under the control of Warner Brothers, Columbia Records and any other record label would be a moot one. Now once an artist builds a strong brand (in George's case 4 or 5) he or she can really produce and distribute their music independently. Viva internet!
The times now are nothing like they were back then obviously. Today is merely collection of all these great things and now we admire what we have for a while.
The late, great Bernie Worrell's keyboard work on "Flashlight", to this day, is still unequalled...
RIGHT BOUT THAT BABY!!
Bernie played it the way we felt it
Insurance Man for the Funk!
Where'd he get that funk from??!!
George Clinton stole the money left that management didn't steal. Raped the woman singers.
Its all documented.
I felt the darkness in the mid 70s.
It was poison.
If you band mates say , slipping away on a ship of fools who had a capitan who changed all the rules....
There's a problem
That landing of the Mothership and Dr. Funkenstein coming down the stairs was the high point of any parliament funkadelic show a true classic.
That's what my playlist for all genres of music old new classical doctor funkenstein Houston 77 is it on all playlist of mine it fits all categories
It was great experience! Look for the video that talks about George following Sly out of the Mothership. It's hilarious!
@williamwright1281 the album which I had, was terribly recorded. Great show
Parliament Funkadelic did the spaceship thing before Electric Light Orchestra did it.
Me, a white teenager in the 70's in Europe, I was enticed by the music, the players and the myth. P-Funk truly ruled the world.
@JanVanGalen SIR
" The Funkus was amongst us" Also a TEEN FROM THE STATES PHILLY LATE 70'S REAL FUNK was heard felt and danced to!
Whooow. I remember a Jan van Galen lived in Enschede. And I remember he loved FUNKY music.
music knows no color

one of the greatest bands EVER... and some of the greatest music, ever.....
Eddie Hazel is my favorite guitar player, and he never get any props. Bernie Worrell was also a true genius.
Still get goosebumps every time I hear Maggot Brain. Amazing
Funk, I was born in 61, and it was the soundtrack of my childhood and beyond. God, it was glorious! You'll never know how good it was if you weren't there.
These dudes were way ahead of their time for real. Keep funkin' George, Bootsy and all the PFunk players.
Long before anyone thought about colorful hair, George Clinton rocked it. 😮

I am white, British, and have loved these guys since 1974. So good. sad i have never seen them live, but loved the album covers.
My very first concert was Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy and the Rubber Band and The Brides of Funkenstein
Respect from a white argentinean. I saw them live in 2009 and it was the best show I ever been to. Peace
Bootsy Collins
I only know these brothers from my parents 45s god I love them all.

Their music inspired Hip Hop so much. I’m also very happy to see that Rick James was apart of this ✨
Hats off to all these Funk Fathers!
As someone who was born as raised in Plainfield, NJ, I am especially proud to be from the birthplace of THE FUNK! P-FUNK nation in da house!

Maggot Brain is, IMO, one of the top 5 greatest guitar songs of all time.
Ccme on son.The GOAT is Maggot Brain.
Sorry, no recorded guitar song is the greatest guitar song of all time.
top 3
top 2 and it ain’t 2
The greatest
I was born on August 14th 1978 in Birmingham Alabama and my Dad got me into Funkadelic and thank you for the influence Eddie Hazel
"Fried, Dyed n laid to the side" 😎💕
I miss seeing George and the funk live all the time. I hope he has a happy retirement.
Chocolate city is totally ahead of his time! I’m shock! parliament funkadelic is the truth.

Glen Goins is one of the best vocalist that ever lived period.

Maggot Brain isn't just the best rock- funk-blues jam you've heard. it's the Funkin' Best You'll Ever Hear !
Right.. it transcends all those genres, it’s pure guitar bliss!

The best times ever. I wish we could go back to that time and just funk into oblivion.

All of these Artists really Respected each other and Supported each other. No Shooting and getting upset because someone dissed you. Some beautiful memories that I will never forget about.
🤘💯🎛️🤩🎸🎛️
Some of the Greatest funk of all times!!!!!!!
AWWW!! THIS TOOK ME BACK TO THE DAYS OF BEING BACK IN HIGHSCHOOL AND ME AND GLORIA JACKS GOIN TO THE KIEL AUDITORIUM TO SEE BOOTSEY'S RUBBER BAND, PARLIMENT FUNKADELLIC AND THE TICKETS ONLY COST....25.00!!!
They really need to do a movie on p funk I know they have a lot to cover but still I’m on it when they do.
The Funk will stand the test of time just like the pyramids. Thank you for the wonderful journey brother George and the crew. 🌙🍾❤️
My first and my last true Funk Band. They made me want to be a musician because they always sounded like they was having more fun in the world they created while parodying the real world, and as long as we didn't fake the funk we were all invited to come play in it. Thank you George and the whole P-Funk Nation, my youth was a blast because of y'all.
This was awesome. To see, and hear about the origins of Parliament/Funksdelic is truly captivating. I was a kid when they were doing their Thang, but I got it. Thank you for sharing this
this documentary puts a smile on my face. thank you for uploading this!!!!!!!!!!
saw pfunk last year at house of blues in NOLA , the old man rocked the house for hours
Man, they were so cool in the early '70s. Love all the characters of the late '70s too, but the disco sound was less my thing than the psych rock. So cool how he juggled all those groups & record labels without giving up an ounce of his personality. Never bowed to anyone. That's pretty rare in the music biz. The '80s were too lame for P-Funk.
THANK-GOD TO ALL OF MY FELLOW GRANDPARENT COLLECTORS...KEEP EM MESMERIZED!
Fast forward 33 years and this whole issue of being under the control of Warner Brothers, Columbia Records and any other record label would be a moot one. Now once an artist builds a strong brand (in George's case 4 or 5) he or she can really produce and distribute their music independently. Viva internet!
The times now are nothing like they were back then obviously. Today is merely collection of all these great things and now we admire what we have for a while.
love how a lot of hip-hop/rap used the music of 60s and 70's musicians...for example Dr. Dre's let me ride
And Too $hort
