What the Funk?

I saw where George Clinton is suing his former partner for the rights to his songs.



He is doing a show in Tally this month with his old band. The pre P Funk guys. I heard the name on the radio, but can't find it now.

That show in Tallahassee sounds awesome, wish I was closer! Yeah he's suing for $100 million dollars, needles to say I hope he wins.

Armen Boladian stole a huge amount of material from George and in 2001 filed hundreds of lawsuits against musicians who sampled Clinton’s songs while not adding Clinton as a plaintiff, therefore not sharing any of the millions he received with Clinton.

According to Danny Bedrosian(current P-Funk keyboardist) there is three times more unreleased material still in the vaults than what has been released to the public now, and there is a monumental amount of material already out so that has to be a huge amount of music. There were around fifty members in the band, that's a lot of creative power. Danny says George works 26 hours a day, I really really look forward to more unreleased stuff to come out someday hopefully.

The Family series 1-5 released in the nineties was a small taste of some of that material. There are some gems in there.

Everything about this clip is great, guitars are amazing and tight as hell and Jerome Brailey is just pounding the shit out of the drums!
