One Nation Under a Groove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One Nation Under a Groove is the most critically lauded Funkadelic album, widely considered one of the best funk albums of all time, and one of the most influential albums of the 1970s. One Nation Under a Groove is a very loose concept album (as are most of Funkadelic's), essentially declaring the power of Funk (see P Funk mythology) to do two interconnected things: become an open-minded, happy and goal oriented person, and dance well. One Nation Under a Groove is a 1978 (see 1978 in music) album by the American funk band Funkadelic. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/One_Nation_Under_a_Groove   (384 words)

AlterNet: One Nation, Under a Groove We are the nation of "inalienable rights," "malice toward none," "give me your tired, your poor" and "I have a dream"; of Stonewall and la huelga, not of the Dred Scott decision, napalm, union-busting and J. Edgar Hoover. The belief in the mystic supremacy of blood-and-soil nationality is the toxic dirt that grew Wounded Knee, Auschwitz, Sabra and Shatila, and 57 varieties of Middle East terrorism. Most amendments are attempts to settle administrative problems brought on by the early rapid growth of the nation and diversification of the economy after the industrial revolution. www.alternet.org /story/23261   (3042 words)

Nation, The: One Nation Under a Groove. (book reviews) Gerald Early and Motown, together at last in One Nation Under a Groove, seem as inevitable and harmonious a coupling as Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. His previous work, including Tuxedo Junction and last year's National Book Critics Circle Award-winning The Culture of Bruising, teemed with meaty, plain-spoken musings on such topics as prizefighting, jazz and the Miss America pageant. Early, after all, is never so much at home as when he's grappling with the complexities of identity, assimilation and crossing over--issues that dominate the history of Motown. calbears.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_hb1367/is_199507/ai_n5597447   (270 words)

Blogcritics.org: Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove 1978 One Nation Under A Groove is a collection of songs from different perspectives, but still under the GROOVE. Well man, the One Nation album is a mixture of songs, it ranges from dance funk, to straight funk, to funk metal, to progressive soul. Actually, the only "One Nation" track that I really think goes on a bit too long without much happening is "Who Says..." and maybe the title track. blogcritics.org /archives/2005/09/16/010410.php   (3458 words)

Eye - BOOKS: Gerald Early -- One Nation Under A Groove - 09.07.95 Though the subject of One Nation Under A Groove is Motown, Gerald Early is not one of these academics who descends from an ivory tower to trash popular culture. What this has to do with the Marvelettes I'm not entirely sure, but One Nation Under A Groove sings like no other cultural theory treatise I've ever read. And "crossover," as Early explains in one of the book's best passages, was made possible by several existing factors involving the black music business and white public tastes, none of which Gordy engineered but all of which he could certainly capitalize on. www.eye.net /eye/issue/issue_09.07.95/ARTS/bo0907d.htm   (252 words)

The New York Review of Books: One Nation Under a Groove Soon, however, he underwent a nervous collapse, and then a conversion experience under the influence of the most electrifying of the era's singing preachers, the Reverend A.W. Nix. As a rough, down-home, gutbucket pianist, he found himself beneath notice in the national capital of black musical sophistication, the city to which the mainstream of New Orleans jazz had emigrated en masse just before the First World War. It was to be the first of three journeys down the Damascus road for Dorsey, but numbers one and two were cut short by the exigencies of material existence. www.nybooks.com /articles/16478   (3744 words)

CD Review: Funkadelic Hardcore Jollies, One Nation Under a Groove, Uncle Jam Wants You, The Electric Spanking of War Babies Priority/Capitol - Daily Nexus Online However, One Nation - whose title cut is among the most famous funk chunks out there - ushers in an emphasis more on groove and bizarre pseudo-activism. But compared to One Nation’s brilliance, they are pale shadows of the Funkadelic that asked, “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?!” by way of urging black music to dwell everywhere and anywhere it pleased. There the band peaks; Uncle Jam is laced with long, directionless cuts and a less organic drumming style, while Electric Spanking employs campy synthesized sounds and swaps many of the brilliant P-Funk soldiers for an over-tired Sly Stone. www.dailynexus.com /artsweek/1969/3372.html   (403 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment One nation under a groove Our current national anthem represents a woefully outdated national image, one that does not recognize the last 100-plus years of our cultural history, or the modern realities of our society (not that any nation's anthem really does this). Of course, there is another song whose title begins with the same words, and someone will suggest that Bobby McFerrin's tune would be a better replacement for our national anthem. If our national anthem is going to be the soundtrack for our leaders' march to war, can't we, who will be doing the marching and paying for it (in some cases with our lives -- civilian as well as military) have a choice as to which song it'll be? www.salon.com /ent/feature/2002/09/11/new_anthem/index1.html   (1127 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment One nation under a groove The band jams out the national anthem for a quarter of an hour, and when they are done, the ethnically diverse crowd is united in applause that lasts for 10 solid minutes. Over the "wikka-tikka" funk guitar riff and wildly syncopated groove, lyrics like "Top billing now is killing/ For peace no one is willing" reach those who are listening and some freeze, faces fixed with a look of recognition. I think we as a nation need a national anthem that expresses, perhaps cathartically, the fear and stress that is a natural part of living in America right now. salon.com /ent/feature/2002/09/11/new_anthem   (1039 words)
