Parliament

The seminal “The Clones Of Dr Funkenstein” album was released in 1976 and is one of the P-Funk crew’s finest.

After “Mothership Connection” came out in 1975 there was speculation as to whether Parliament could come up with something as good. No problem. George Clinton’s merry crew included Bootsy Collins (bass), Glen Goins (guitar), Garry Shider (guitar), and Jerome Brailey (drums). Musical arrangements were courtesy of keyboard player Bernie Worrell and former James Brown horn player Fred Wesley. Studio horn players included the legendary Brecker Brothers. Every track was a winner with ‘Gamin’ on Ya’ and ‘Children Of Production’ crackling with musical electricity. ‘Getten’ To Know You’ was even a romantic ballad – of sorts. ‘Everything Is On The One ‘was a one song summation of the refreshed Parliament groove philosophy.
