Funk Is In The Air - George Clinton And The Mothership Returns! May Tour 2017
Be A Part Of Music History! If you never heard of the "P-Funk" ( not our famous infamous @pfunk ), you don't know what Funk & Soul really means and how it feels. My closest friend Nina is booking George Clinton and The Parliament Funkadelic for a while now.
I have highest respect for her work because its not that easy to handle such a big band of heavy duty boyzzz.
George Clinton (born July 22, 1941) is an American singer, songwriter, bandleader, and record producer. He was the principal architect of P-Funk and the mastermind of the bands Parliament and Funkadelic during the 1970s and early 1980s. He launched a solo career in 1981. - Source Wikipedia and http://georgeclinton.com
George Clinton: 'Ain't no funk in the Trump'
Speaking of "One Nation," Clinton said, "That's the holy grail of the funk. It's ... our anthem and that binding force." It's also a song Clinton thinks President Trump's administration should add to its playlist. "Ain't no funk in the Trump," Clinton said. "You can't be that against everything and everybody and be funky -- that's hard to do. He needs to go to a good funk concert a few times. He'd probably change his mind about a lot of things. I'm going to send him a copy of 'One Nation Under a Groove' -- maybe that'll help." Source
I am so happy that I finally find the right moment to give one of my musical heroes a personal tribute and announce one of his tours.
Read full Biography
Recording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B during the ’70s, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several late-’60s acid heroes: Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone. The Parliament/Funkadelicmachine ruled black music during the ’70s, capturing over 40 R&B hit singles (including three number ones) and recording three platinum albums.
We played 70's Funk up and down and all around and it was my way of being a rebel growing up in conservative Austria. I had an afro and huge hoops and don't even ask what clothes came with it. Bellbottoms, crochet tops and flower power jumpsuits.
Atomic Dog (very live 1985)- Funkadelic

still crazy for music ! 
PS : My Funk Tune of today , Story follows when I worked and hang with Cameo back in the 80's
I love George Clinton. Not only is he the grand funk master inspiring acts as diverse as Snoop Dogg, producing The Red Hot Chilli Peppers CD, Blood Sugar Sex Magic.
He puts on a great show. I opened for him in San Francisco for The Exotic Erotic Ball.
Listen to this song, Atomic Dog, releases in 1982 and you'll hear where Snoop Dogg stole his chops from.
When the Chilli Peppers were asked if they could choose any producer in the world to produce their album they chose George Clinton.
He a real talented artist.
Yeah Yeah Yeah ! There are more fonky people on steemit . I will continue with my journey introducing music history
🎶 is the weapon of the future as Fela Kuti said long time ago.
Are you a Dj or do you have a band ?
Atomic dog is a classic!
I played in a band

I'm sure there's some somewhere. It was pre facebook and youtube though. Did some posts months ago of some pics and music
