I read a George Clinton interview a little while ago and it mentioned that the lord of the P-Funk was turning 70 this year. Well, I couldn’t let that slide without at least wishing the man a happy birthday! Feel free to leave your wishes in the comments below…
If you are on this website on the regular I assume that you understand the significance of George Clinton and his 50 year career at the reigns of his funk empire. His truly cosmic and free interpreation of funk & soul music set the stage for countless artists like Prince, Dre, Snoop, Outkast, Plantlife, Dam-Funk, Digital Underground, to name only a few. One of the most innovative and original artists in modern music history. A great front man who knows how to surround himself with the greatest talent and turn them loose (Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, etc.).
Peeps! Let’s cherish our living legends because there are very few of them left! George we sincerely hope to have you around for another 30 years …
To those of you living in New York!
Arriving aboard the “Mothership,” the godfather of funk, George Clinton will bring Parliament-Funkadelic to lower Manhattan to perform an intimate outdoor concert in New York City at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 27 at the Beekman Beer Garden.
Appropriately dubbed George Clinton’s 70th Birthday Funkabration, the show comes a mere five days after Clinton’s actual birthday of July 22. “Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay!”
