Wow. We must be in the same age group. I haven’t heard anyone mention Funkadelic/Parliament in years. Those guys were terrific back in the day. My favourite was “I Just Want To Testify”. Thanks for jogging my memory.
I saw Parliament and the Brides of Funkestein back in the 70’s. I liked “Flashlight”. It was a bit odd being one of only a handful of white boys, but all ended well. I will say there were more blunts there than at a Cheech and Chong movie festival. I also liked the Bar-Kays, Bootsie, and Confuncion (they had some awesome slow dance songs).
Shortly thereafter black music ceased being music and I stopped listening.
