I study music on a spiritual level, and I don't think it's even possible for me to describe (in layman's terms) what George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic was doing on a spiritual level. The level of "raw" spirituality in their music was so high that it was actually approaching dangerous levels in my opinion. This man is a musical genius

George makes references to Jamerson deservedly so, He used Babbitt on his Funkadelic album in 1970.

[@chrisedwards3214]

Dennis coffey- Ray monnette- Bob babbitt- Andrew Smith and earl van dyke played on the first funkadelic album.
Denni- ray- and Bob played on mommy whats a funkadelic - I bet you- good old music and what is soul with eddie hazel and tiki fulwood mixed in

[@footballrealist9171]

Give me my funkadelic and where is my parliament I want it all back my knee deep and my flashlight you want to funk around with me. This is mood control the home of the p funk the 💣 mine your wants because their is someone that wants your mind. Take me lightly like a woodpecker with a headache you can tune a piano but you can't tune a 🐟 your a fish and I'm a water sign. Aqua boogie 💃 under water and not get wet.

[@Invisoclam]

I think that is only Because of Hampton being in the audience - he mentioned Eddie

[@robertbright-jc3sd]

James McCauley I believe that you are absolutely right because if you notice he never speaks of or ever mention GLENN GOINS during any interviews or JEROME BRAILEY,and they both were critical to the sound of FUNKADELIC.

[@sex6cult9revolution]

@@robertbright-jc3sd Glenn and Jerome came much later (as did Michael Hampton). They're talking about the late 60's and early 70's.
The only Funkadelic albums that Glenn and Jerome appeared on were Tales of Kidd Funkadelic and Hardcore Jollies.
