Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Parliament
Song:Up For The Down Stroke
Album:The Best Of Parliament:Give Up The Funk




George Clinton and his cohorts Bernie Worrell & Bootsy Collins are considered icons of funk. They had two main groups; Parliament & Funkadelic. The difference between the two groups was that Funkadelic was more psychedelic based but the basic group was the same. Parliament was more successful and the outrageous nature of their live shows had a lot to do with it. The music still holds up very well today and this comp is a good introduction for beginners.
