George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelics carried us in those mid to late 70's. They sorta changed their sound in the late 70's, but they got even better. In the late 70's, when you'd hear one of their songs for the first time, you'd be saying "Well, this song won't go no where". Then a week later, it would be the number one song. And at the party, you'd be waiting for that song, and you knew you'd get a dance quit. I never had a group affect me like that. It was almost like a magic spell on us.

Now his actual home town needs to honor him also.

George Clinton (nicknamed "the Prime Minister of Funk" and "Dr. Funkenstein") is a singer, songwriter, and producer best known as the leader of the popular funk bands Parliament and Funkadelic (a.k.a. P-Funk). He was born July 22, 1941 in an outhouse in Kannapolis, N. C., the eldest of nine children. The family soon moved to Washington, D.C., and settled in Plainfield, New Jersey, in 1952. By 1955 Clinton was part of a Plainfield-based doo-wop group called the Parliaments whose sound was inspired by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

No Head,No Backstage Pass 1976. In the 70s joints like this was unheard of and taboo, but George and Funkadelic didn't give a single fukk!
