FUNKADELIC Vinyl Records and CDs

... "Undisco Kidd." All the while, Clinton and company were still performing, recording and releasing new records as Parliament. In 1978 things really exploded for both groups, Funkadelic released the undeniably classic LP One Nation Under A Groove, and hit number one with the title track. Almost simultaneously, Parliament also topped the charts with "Aqua Boogie" and "Flash Light." As the seventies came to a close, the group splintered with financial disagreements forcing several members out on their own. They put together a few more albums, but the initial magic seemed to be missing. Both Clinton and Bootsy began work on solo projects and ever-rotating members continued to tour for several decades as the P-Funk All Stars. Clinton's drug problems and legal woes continued through the years, but his music would play a crucial role in the development of hip-hop (especially on the West Coast), as various rap producers concocted new songs based on older Funkadelic tracks. In particular, Dr. Dre's landmark gangsta rap masterpiece The Chronic introduced a whole new generation to the wonders of P-Funk.
