Parliament Funkadelic Information
P-Funk, short for "Parliament-Funkadelic," is the moniker given to the American musical collective. It has been around since the 1960s and is run by George Clinton. The members of this collective mostly hail from the funk bands Funkadelic and Parliament.
The beginnings of the collective may be traced back to Clinton's formation of the doo-wop ensemble the Parliaments in the late 1950s in suburban New Jersey. Clinton was a producer-writer for Motown Records in the late 1960s, influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, and Frank Zappa.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honored George Clinton and fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic—the biggest band to date—in May 1997. According to Rolling Stone's 2004 "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list, Parliament-Funkadelic was placed #56.
Due to several legal concerns around the usage of the names Parliament and Funkadelic after 1980, the P-Funk All-Stars were formed. This group incorporated many of the same musicians as the Parliament-Funkadelic collective from the late 1970s.
Members of Parliament-Funkadelic, together with special guests and up-and-coming performers, have performed under the moniker P-Funk All Stars, which is still in use today.
