Kris Needs - George Clinton & The Cosmic Odyssey Of The P-Funk Empire [BOOK]

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 contains first-hand interview material with Clinton, Bootsy Collins, 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 insider’s view of the rise of Parliament and Funkadelic from the doo-wop era and LSD-crazed early shows through to P-Funk’s huge rise, the era of the Mothership and beyond.
