Biografía de George Clinton

George Clinton is a musical legend. Singer, songwriter and music producer, he was the principle character of P-Funk: a group of performers responsible for revolutionising funk music.

Clinton began his career as the mastermind behind the bands Parliament and Funkadelic before launching in to a startlingly brilliant solo career. He is often cited as being one of the forefathers of funk music. In the 70s he belonged to an esteemed group, the P-Funk, which comprised a selection of funk music innovators. In 1997, he and 15 of his P-Funk members were allocated in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a great honour indeed.

Born in North Carolina in the USA but growing up in New Jersey, Clinton was musical from a young age and tried to break into the industry early. P-Funk was his big break, earning him and his bandmates three number one singles and three platinum albums as well as countless more songs (about 40 of which became hits). As a producer, Clinton has worked with performers such as The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Clinton emerged as a soloist in 1982. Some of his most notable hits include ‘Loopzilla’, ‘Do Fries Go With That Shake?’ and ‘Atomic Dog’ which reached the number one spot on the R&B charts. After a slight dip in notoriety in the late 80s, Clinton’s popularity was resurrected in the 90s when many artists, particularly rappers, began to cite him as musical inspiration.

Críticas en vivo

If you have never experienced the trippy insanity of a George Clinton concert, well you should and you should before you no longer can.

George Clinton has been doing his thing for many years, and in my opinion has stayed true to his style and attitude refusing to change for anyone. That's one of the things I love the most about the show, its just plain fun! The crowd at a George Clinton show is such a varied mix of people from all generations and backgrounds as George has managed to cross over to so many generations and types of people.

I will advise that for most of his outdoor shows, there is quite a lot of marijuana smoking happening, so if this is a concern for you, you may want to take that into consideration. There's nothing negative that comes from it, but it is around...

The stage show is just so much fun to watch, and seeing what type of crazy outfit George, as well as his band will be wearing each show is a lot of fun!

Most of the George Clinton shows Ive been to have lasted up to 2 hours, as he has such a large catalog of music, and also tends to extend the length of many songs during the show. The light show is almost as trippy as the music, and the stage props add a lot to the show as well, making it just one really fun concert to experience!!
