Notes Parliament-Funkadelic, also known as P-Funk, was a massive group of American performers that greatly influenced black music in the 1970s. The group scored 13 Top Ten rhythm-and-blues and pop hits from 1967 to 1983 under a variety of names, including the Parliaments, Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band, and the Brides of Funkenstein, as well as under the name of its founding father, George Clinton. They combined the hard rock of Jimi Hendrix, the funky rhythms of James Brown, and the showstopping style of Sly and the Family Stone to fashion an outrageous tribal funk experience. P-Funk emphasized the aesthetics of funk as a means of self-fulfillment; to "give up the funk" meant to achieve transcendence. P-Funk reached its peak in the late 1970s, sporting a massive stage act with over 40 performers. P-Funk defined the dance music of its time and influenced a range of styles from hard rock to house music. The P-Funk catalog is among the most sampled by rap music producers. Parliament-Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. This is a great show with great sound!
