 | | It seems part abbreviation of "Parliament-Funkadelic", part abbreviation for "pure funk," a genre of music embodied by the Clinton bands; and part abbreviation of "Plainfield Funk", referring to Plainfield, New Jersey, Parliament's hometown. | | | He had released a selection of the band's tripped out, experimental songs under the name Parliament in 1970, as the album Osmium. | | | The following year, he formed The P Funk All Stars, who went on to record Urban Dancefloor Guerillas in 1983 and toured regularly throughout the rest of the 1980s. |

| | P Funk mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A series of concept albums and live shows, primarily from Parliament and Funkadelic, have a group of recurring characters, themes and ideas that are collectively referred to as the P Funk mythology. | | | Their mission is to rescue dance music from the doldrums (unFunkiness). | | | One central concept is Maggot Brain (Maggot Brain (Funkadelic, 1971)), and a song on that album, which is a way of thinking which allows one to forget one’s troubles, above which one must rise or else drown along with all the maggots of the Earth. |

| | Can You Get to That? |
| | Funk doesn't have to be heard because the aural music is only a physical manifestation of the yet deeper, noumenal galactic vibe, which is always felt by one whose receptors are tuned to Channel One. | | | The sweat is not integral to the music, as it is in funk, in jazz. | | | Colonel Tom wiped Elvis' forehead after each song; the sweat was there because Elvis worked, to be sure, but its presence was denied in the classic Victorian tradition by way of its immediate elimination from the stage. |

| | Six Degrees of P-Funk Album Review |
| | The mix of funk on Six Degrees of P-Funk goes as deep as 1979 on the Mutiny's two contributions: 'Lump' and 'Funk N Bop.' In fact, these two oldest songs are by far the funkiest and most appealing songs on the album. | | | As the album progresses, the sound develops into a more synthesized adaptation of the funk, characteristic of the late eighties. | | | His amazing ability to fuse diverse musical styles into the funk sound predominantly found in many hip-hop recordings today, stands as an amazing accomplishment. |

| | The intention was to recapture the lowdown funk of the earliest Funkdaelic records, and it ends up sounding completely derivative: they don't help matters by copying two Funkadelic numbers note for note, changing the titles, and copyrighting them as band compositions. | | | Apart from the semi-soft funk, there are lots of love songs ("Saddest Day"), many of which are covers (Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman"). | | | with most of the key Funk Mob members present and accounted for, this was a record to reassure P-Funk fans after the collapse of Parliafunkadelicment and the snapping of the Rubber Band. |

| | Bass Player - Introduction to the Bassists of P-Funk |
| | Anyone who has played bass in a dance band is familiar with songs like Parliament’s “Flashlight” and “Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker),” Funkadelic’s “One Nation Under a Groove” and “Cosmic Slop,” and group leader George Clinton’s solo smash “Atomic Dog”—classic funk tunes with widely divergent bass styles. | | | From the late 1950s doo-wop days in Clinton’s Plainfield, New Jersey barbershop, to the collective’s current hip-hop ways, P-Funk has always reflected and affected the entire musical and sociological landscape. | | | Less commonly known are the bassists behind those styles, and how they influenced the sound and direction of the P-Funk collective over a history of nearly 40 years. |
