    Rodney 'Skeet' Curtis and Dennis Chambers-The Baltimore Duo that took the world by storm. That's the tightest P-funk rhythm section they had. And don't get me wrong, I love me some Tiki, Billy, and Tawl. But these dudes were off the chain.

      Don't know I think Glen used pfunk as a stepping stone til.simething else cane along
      Glen left over money issues if he lived he was gonna do the mutiny project with big foot and no telling what came after that
      I always believed if Gary wasn't a part of pfunk he would have been one of the best blues soul singers he would have been something like al green, Tyrone Davis or Johnny Taylor, or Marvin sease or teddy
      Rip to Glen and Gary George had the best singers and players in his band
