  Larry Clinton - Biography - AOL Music
Larry Clinton was a versatile composer, arranger, and bandleader whose swing band was one of the dominant forces in pop music in the late '30s, specifically in the period between Tommy Dorsey's initial success and the rise to fame of Glenn Miller.
Some of the hits Clinton enjoyed in the late '30s were with songs of such significance that his connection in introducing them has become forgotten; the ever-prevalent favorite of amateur pianists "Heart and Soul" and "Deep Purple" were among the tunes Larry Clinton made famous.
Clinton did have some hot players in his band, but seldom if ever used them to contribute solos to raise the heat; as one would expect from an arranger's band, the emphasis was on precise execution of his dance charts as written.

 George Clinton and Miscellaneous P-Funk
Former Parliament singer's second self-produced album (I don't have his first), and it's very good: there are neat arranging tricks all over the place, like barely-audible distorted guitar on a soul ballad ("I Think I Got My Thing Together"), keyboard and guitar unisons ("Thangs We Used To Do"), and unusual syncopated riffs ("Sinderella").
Phillipe (once lead singer for the Spinners) has a pretty voice, but doesn't have a lot of stylistic range or project much emotion, which leaves this record at the mercy of the songs themselves, which are generally third-rate.
Clinton's formula is sluggish funk vamps with programmed drums, synth bass and endlessly repeated chants; it gets dull during the opening "Bounce 2 This" and doesn't get any better thereafter.

Gore ran for President in the shadow of Clinton: in the shadow of Clinton’s talents and his mistakes—most of all, the affair with Monica Lewinsky, the supreme gift to the Republican opposition.
After it became clear that Clinton had lied to his wife, to Gore, to everyone, that he had, in fact, carried on the affair, the Clinton-Gore relationship, which had been more formal than advertised, collapsed nearly into silence.
Nearly everyone in the Gore camp still believes that Clinton dearly wanted to see his Vice-President succeed him, but some suspect that he was not entirely displeased that the defeat left more room on the political stage for Hillary.
