    Who else got sad when Prince and George Clinton hugged and George called Prince his "Main Man". R.I.P. Prince.

      Best concert I ever went to - 6 hours of Clinton & P-Funk. Then I was leaving and George said "hang out". Everyone but bout 50 of George's people and friends got to stay and Prince came and jammed till 6 in the morning with Mos Def and Alicia Keys! Crazy night. Pisses my sister off every time I tell that story because she didn't want to come that night so missed it.

    Since i'm a man of generation X and LOVE rhythm, PRINCE is the perfect person to induct one of the most important force regarding FUNK! Can't begin to say how much i love to see icons like FUZZY HASKINS, CALVIN SIMON, GRADY THOMAS, GARRY SHIDER, JEROME BRAILEY, BERNIE WORREL, BOOTSY COLLINS and the man himself GEORGE CLINTON to get their respect. TIKI FULWOOD, GLENN GOINS and EDDIE HAZEL are in our hearts.

    I got to go to Paisley Park a few times, a friend of mine knew Prince and I live 10 minutes away. Well one time I was just standing there talking to a buddy of mine, and we looked by the door and a guy that looked exactly like George Clinton came gliding in and was just standing there by himself at the doors, he might have floated in on a spaceship, hard to tell at that moment. A Prince sighting there wasn't a big deal, it's his joint, but was this really Mr. Funkadelic himself? It had to be him, nobody looks like him or dresses up like him. After a few minutes standing there alone, someone must have told his purpleness that his idol had showed up to catch one of his late night shows and Prince finally ran over to see him. You could tell Prince had a lot of respect for the master of funk at that moment.

    Prime influence will always be the leading factor in the long time worth of any musical artist. There are Jazz artists that are virtually unknown to the general public, but the music that they created stands the test of time because of the inlfuence the music has had over generations. If sales were a true indicator of an artists worth, then please explain Abba to me.

    When I was a teenager, I used to hang with Eddie Hazel , on occasion,when he visited his grandmother on Bainbridge street between Reid Ave and Patchen Ave in Brooklyn. He invited me over to hear him play his new red Gibson guitar at her house. It was a beauty. He told me that he was playing for a band called the Parliaments. When my family moved to Queens, I never saw Eddie again. Years later, retired and living in Oklahoma I remember what Eddie had told me about his association. I researched and regrettably realized he had prospered in the music business and I didn't realize it. Then I found out my boyhood friend, Eddie had passed away. he is listed as one of the Greatest ever guitarists. i see his widow Ms. Brenda received the award for him. I was also proud to hear prince mention Eddie by name. Eddie had a dream. Eddie pursued and achieved his. Eddie, my friend, RIP. God Bless.

It would've been wonderful had you and Eddie connected later in life...before he passed...I'm sure that he would have been super happy to recall those simpler times with you...

    What is little known to the public is that George Clinton was operating the equivalent of a Motown or a Stax records for more than a decade using the same players. Then the record companies he played around with screwed him because they realized what might transpire with internal/external sales competition and cut it off. In reality these players controlled and dominated the waves of our brains for decades thanks to GC. That is why Parliament is Funkadelic and electrosonifies the P-Funk nation into the milleniumsphere and I for one am glad it continues to be digested into all forms of music we consume.

      George Clinton is a "gifted & anointed" messenger.
      I believe the Holy Spirit is the source of Funk.
      Most believe the opposite but can't make sense of this phenomenon called PFunk and the effects that represent it.
      Prince knew that's why he said he wanted to testify about it.
      People are slow to catch the hidden meanings and obvious clues just like with "JJ Christ's" parables.
      Christ always operated pfunky if you think about it, and wasn't he accused of being a devil to in spite of always exposing Satan and warning us against Satan?
      Doesn't Sir Noze make sense of Satan historically and "ironically" as the enemy of funk?🤔

    Parliament Funkadelic was and is, along with Earth, Wind, and Fire of the same era, THE Supergroups of African American music. They literally changed music the same way James Brown did before them. Of course Bootsy and crew were members of the James Brown Band, and George's sound, coupled with what Bootsy and the gang brought, was a combination that made beautiful funky music! One of a kind!

      One of the most dominant rock bands of the era and also unapologetically heavy for the time. Eddie Hazel was competing with basically every Prog Guitarist in Europe and Black Sababth and succeeded to the point where Rush mentions The Mothership at one point. Also managed to be one of the first sci-fi opera space type bands alongside Magma and Pink Floyd.

      @@georgialilley4316 from what I have read and heard in interviews, after their baby died, he, like many at a time like that, was searching for answers and comfort. Someone, maybe Larry Graham, introduced him to JW religion. He grew up inside a religious family, so it likely wasn’t that hard to get him involved with JW. He was very involved with them and really pushed it on Mayte and she just couldn’t get into it like him. So that was a big influence in her decision to leave him. As well as the loss of the baby and miscarriage was hard on their relationship.

      Those nannies should've been sued for breach of trust by speaking on another persons household/relationship. No one is talking about their personal lives for everyone to judge.
      And just because they interpreted him or his actions a certain way does not mean they knew all of the details and doesn't mean that what they understood was actual fact. Did they talk to doctors about her condition? Would they know pertinent info? NO.

    All of these funk masters influences including James Brown were where Prince got his original funk sound. All of Prince's music had that undergirding of funk...so it was right that Prince was the one to induct Parliment. Parliment-Funkadelics, took James Brown's sound to the next level, then Prince took that to the next level. So when you hear artist like Bruno Mars for this generation, it's already been done with Bootsy in his generation.

    Saw George and P-Funk at Lollapalooza 1994 in Charlotte, NC with Beastie Boys, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins...George and P-Funk were HANDS DOWN the best part of the show (next to Green Day...Smashing Pumpkins was horrible and the Beasties were too loud). They blew it OUT! Went to get a drink before they came on stage and when I got back to my seat, which was close to the stage, there was this sweet TINY little old black woman in my seat with a big 'ol red pacifier around her neck. I just sorta squeezed in cos no one was sitting anyways. I asked her if she was enjoying herself and she said, "That's my son!". Sure enough, she was George's momma. He pointed her out a few songs later. One of my best memories from that year :). Did the bump with George Clinton's momma LOL.

      pepe1999ish That's awesome...Not only have I been on the other end of Elizabeth Draper's story, but if you were at the show in NO or anywhere else in the last few years, you saw my Son onstage as well. Thanks for the Love and support.

    I've watched this many times. This has got to be one of the greatest recording and performing groups ever. I'm glad that everyone got to say their piece on this and that some of the guys got acknowledged before they passed on.
