	Parliament (band)
		Soon, Parliament was created in addition to Funkadelic and the two bands consisted of essentially the same people (see List of P Funk members), though both released albums under their respective names.
		The legal problems with the name "The Parliaments" were resolved in 1970, and Clinton signed all of Funkadelic to Invictus Records under the name Parliament, releasing Osmium ("The Breakdown" reached #30 on the RandB charts in 1971) but the name Parliament was then abandoned for some time, as Funkadelic was much more successful.
		With the ensuing albums, Parliament became one of the most respected bands on the 1970s, and are now recognized as one of the forefathers of funk music.

	Parliament - Gurupedia
		A parliament is a legislative body, especially in those countries whose system of government is based on the Westminster system derived from that of the United Kingdom.
		The British Parliament is traditionally referred to as the "Mother of Parliaments", as it has been the model for most other parliamentary systems and its Acts have created so many other parliaments.
		In the United Kingdom, Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch.

	Parliament - Music Downloads - Online
		While Funkadelic pursued band-format psychedelic rock, Parliament engaged in a funk free-for-all, blending influences from the godfathers (James Brown and Sly Stone) with freaky costumes and themes inspired by '60s acid culture and science fiction.
		One previously recorded Parliaments single, "A New Day Begins," was licensed to Atco in 1969 and became a number 44 hit that May. By 1970, George Clinton had regained the rights to the Parliaments name: he then signed the entire Funkadelic lineup to Invictus Records as Parliament.
		Parliament's ninth album, Gloryhallastoopid (Or Pin the Tale on the Funky), was released later in 1979 and showed a bit of a slip in the previously unstoppable Clinton machine.

		The band continued to work, both with Clinton and as the P-Funk All Stars, and toured throughout the '80s and early '90s.
		At the same time, many aspiring rap and hip-hop acts were sampling Parliament's heavy grooves and distinctive beats, introducing the band to a new generation of young fl fans.

	Parliament - Onesti Entertainment
		From its 1970 inception until Clinton's dissolving of Parliament in 1980, the band hit the RandB Top Ten several times but truly excelled in two other areas: large-selling, effective album statements and the most dazzling, extravagant live show in the business.
		Basing his group on Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Clinton formed the Parliaments in 1955 with a lineup that gradually shifted to include Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins, Grady Thomas, Raymond Davis, and Calvin Simon.
		Signing with the Casablanca label, Parliament's "Up for the Down Stroke" (number ten RandB, number 63 pop) appeared in mid-1974 and reflected a more mainstream approach than Funkadelic, with funky horn arrangements reminiscent of James Brown and a live feel that recalls contemporary work by Kool and the Gang.

		Parliament was simply laying down a view of the land, drawing up a plan of mainstream funk’s past and present, before they would send the rumbling quakes of future albums to permanently move the mountains on the map.
		The band plays horns, bass, and drums as if they were a slinky living snake, while the funky, elastic dance floor chanting sets a fire blazing on the boards.
		Parliament is not simply walking in footsteps here; they are celebrating the past while laying the groundwork they would later use as a launching pad.

		The pioneering work of Parliament and Funkadelic in the Seventies—driven by Clinton's conceptually inventive mind and the band members' tight ensemble playing and stretched-out jamming—prefigured everything from rap and hip-hop to techno and alternative.
		Parliament and Funkadelic were flip sides of the same coin, and these overlapping entities' respective outputs were referred to in stylistic shorthand as "P-Funk." In Parliament's self-referential theme song, "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)," Clinton and entourage referred to themselves as "dealers of funky music, P-Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb."

		Parliament Funkadelic was notorious for its sheer quantity of musicians: countless members have joined, left and re-joined the collective over its decades of performing and recording, and live shows often boasted up to 30 musicians on stage at once.
		Hazel’s trademark riffs contributed musically to a number of P-Funk albums, but by the mid-1970s, his problems with drug abuse had began to affect his work, and he was forced to leave the band for a few years, returning in the late 1970s.
		He sang lead on many of the band’s most well-known songs, including “Cosmic Slop,” “One Nation,” and “Getting to Know You,” and also co-authored hits such as “Atomic Dog.” As a solo artist in the post-Funkadelic years, Shider has received accolades for his songwriting and producing work, including several Grammy nominations and Dove Gospel awards.
