Parliament R&B

Artist Overview
The first of P-Funk mastermind George Clinton's many bands, Parliament was formed in the 1950s as a doo-wop group called the Parliaments. In the early 1970s it became one of several outlets for Clinton's outrageous blend of funk, rock, and the absurd. Originally intended as the more traditional foil to Funkadelic's progressive leanings, Parliament was eventually enveloped by the same over-the-top theatrics as all of Clinton's other projects.
