{"title":"Funkadelic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Funkadelic\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunkadelic formed in 1968 around George Clinton (born July 22, 1941, in Kannapolis, North Carolina) after his earlier work with the doo-wop group the Parliaments (1956-1968). Funkadelic and the parallel Parliament group (relaunched in 1970) shared overlapping membership across the 1970s - together forming the broader Parliament-Funkadelic collective often referred to as P-Funk. The Funkadelic side emphasized funk-rock guitar work (particularly Eddie Hazel's playing on the title track of Maggot Brain), while Parliament emphasized horn-driven funk arrangements. Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Parliament in 1997. George Clinton has continued performing and recording with various P-Funk lineups across the subsequent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunkadelic's sound combines funk rock, psychedelic funk, soul, R\u0026amp;B, and psychedelic rock with extensive integration of rock guitar work, gospel and doo-wop vocal arrangements, and elaborate conceptual narratives. Their work is widely cited as foundational to funk rock as a recognized genre and one of the most influential American music projects of the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunkadelic (1970, Westbound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree Your Mind... and Your Ass Will Follow (1970, Westbound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaggot Brain (1971, Westbound) - landmark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerica Eats Its Young (1972, Westbound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmic Slop (1973, Westbound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanding on the Verge of Getting It On (1974, Westbound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Take It to the Stage (1975, Westbound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Nation Under a Groove (1978, Warner Bros.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncle Jam Wants You (1979, Warner Bros.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Electric Spanking of War Babies (1981, Warner Bros.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Westbound and Warner Bros. pressings of the Funkadelic catalog are foundational items in funk collecting.
