The giant of funk, soul and Shaft continues a series on funk music.
The mid-seventies grooved to the disco friendly sounds of Earth, Wind and Fire, KC and the Sunshine Band and Chic (before Prince and Rick James took over in the next decade), while George Clinton's P-Funk All Stars waged war on the commercial genre with the meanest and rawest funk ever.
Recalling the celebrated Parliament/Funkadelic enterprise are Clinton himself. Bootsy Collins and Dawn Silva.
