The biography of George Clinton, one of music's most fascinating,
colourful and innovative characters, featuring a new cover and foreword
by critic Miles Marshall Lewis. The most comprehensive history of the
life, music and cultural significance of a great Black music pioneer and
the era which spawned him. Clinton stands alongside James Brown, Jimi
Hendrix and Sly Stone as one of the most influential Black artists of
all time who, along with his vast P-Funk army took black funk into the
US charts and sold out stadiums by the mid 1970s with his mind-blowing
shows and legendary Mothership extravaganzas.
The book

Jerome Bigfoot Brailey, Junie Morrison, Bobby Gillespie, Afrika
Bambaataa, Jalal Nuriddin (Last Poets), Juan Atkins, John Sinclair, Rob
Tyner (MC5), Ed Sanders (The Fugs), Chip Monck ("The Voice of
Woodstock") plus other P-Funk associates and friends. An insiders'
view of the rise of Parliament and Funkadelic from the doowop era and
LSD-crazed early shows through to P-Funk's huge rise, the era of the
Mothership and beyond.
