No, not either of those Clintons (i.e., neither the former US president nor the current presidential hopeful).
George Clinton.
It's Funky Friday here at SITBB during Deesha's and my 32 Day of Black History observance. Today I give you funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk. At the core of this playlist is legendary funk man, George Clinton, and his various bands, band members, and proteges. But also here are the many many artists whose work has been influenced by and/or were contemporaneous with George Clinton.
Please forgive me for starting the funk timeline with Clinton. I know that by all rights it should probably start with the Godfather of Soul (and Funk). But George Clinton was my entry point to funk, so begin there I will.
Enjoy--and Happy Friday!
...Ain't we funkin now? Uh-huh!
| Thanks for tuning into the 32 Days of Black History blogathon with Deesha (Mamalicious!) and me. Today Deesha is offering a Reggaeton beat for our Music Friday. So one way or another you should be able to get and keep your body moving. (Especially necessary for me here in the Twin Cities where it is currently -6 degrees. Brrrrrr!) |
