	Funk genesis - theage.com.au
		Funk, technically speaking, is defined as playing just off the beat, on "the one" - the first beat of the bar, rather than the fourth.
		Clinton would have been happy to fly over in the Mothership - the legendary spacecraft prop from which the band descend at the start of their shows - but it's too big for the Metro stage.
		By the 1980s, Clinton and fellow funk pioneers James Brown, Bootsy Collins and New Orleans bands such as the Meters gave birth to a funk offspring in the form of hip-hop, which enabled the Clinton legacy to endure with his riffs and beats living on in thousands of hip-hop samples and loops.

	Funk-The Bucknellian-April 30
		Despite a tragic turn of events that prevented James Brown from performing at Chrysalis this year, George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic made sure all got their groove on at the formal event Friday evening in the Gerard Fieldhouse.
		If there was any doubt about the funk supremacy of Clinton, all concerns were dispelled as he arrive on stage with his patented, multi-colored dreadlocks partially tucked under a baseball cap, slapping people’s hands and moving around like a 20-something rock star instead of the 60-something funk musician he is.
		Clinton and his posse of funk stars may not be the obvious choice for a formal event, and perhaps "it wasn’t the best dancing music," as Tague said.

	Montreal Mirror - Music : George Clinton
		When it comes to funk, no allusion to the genre would be complete without the mention of the Atomic Dawg and Maggot Overlord himself, George Clinton - truly the walking, talking and breathing personification of funk.
		George Clinton and the Parliaments (Ray Davis, Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon and Grady Thomas) enjoyed little success as a doo-wop quintet in the late '50s, with singles like "Poor Willie" and "Lonely Island" to their credit.
		Clinton dumped the Parliaments name when Atlantic records bought up all the remaining contracts, opting instead to take the entire group and backing band over to Westbound records, where they began recording as Funkadelic, producing a fat, hard funk with a heavy dose of psychedelia.

	It's All About Funk \| Guitar Columns @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Funk bands usually have singers who are actually good singers in non-band form, unlike very many rock bands who have guys who can yell (not to dis these guys or anything, just tellin the truth) I mean, could you honestly imagine Steven Tyler of Aerosmith singing a lullaby or singing a hymn in church.
		Funk had not gained enough mainstream popularity by the time Disco had so the average idiot on the street who wasn't a purist still had some difficulty telling the difference; and when Disco, like all stupid fads, suffered a huge backlash in the 80's, Funk suffered as well.
		Funk is making a comeback, and expect to see more funk in the years to come (after all, I've got a band).

		George got everyone singing along on this one - and speaking of odor, well, let's just say that there was something being smoked that wasn't tobacco by more than a few fans.

	The P-FAQ!
		Clinton was always fascinated with multiple sounds interacting, and the early P.Funk records accomplished this through crude but interesting studio experiments while the later records used a vast number of different players, all resulting in a richly complex sound that still held together.
		Clinton's lyrics have become a bit more direct in the last few years, addressing lyrics like nuclear war, but the best results are usually achieved when his approach is more subtle, or through someone else's point of view.
		The line-up was George, Garry and the P.Funk Horns.
