Coming Clean About George Clinton

George Clinton was first inspired by the doo wop sound of the 50’s.  He was interested in it so much he made it his lifetime career, becoming the creative force behind the groups Parliament and Funkadelic.

Although the groups began making music together in 1955, it wasn’t until 1969 that they began to create a buzz.  Clinton, recording as both Parliament and Funkadelic, “revolutionized R&B during the seventies, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from Jimmy Hendrix, Frank Zappa, & Sly Stone.”

George was able to experience tremendous success performing with the groups, but in 1982 he broke up both bands and decided to focus on solo work.  Since then he has released numerous albums and founded his own record label, The C Kunspyruhzy.

Currently he has scheduled live performances through July 2010.  Keep checking back for more George Clinton news.
