Cameo

Il parait que Cameo cassait la baraque funk en 1980 avec Cameosis, album légendaire.
En 1985, Cameo récidive avec les tube "Word Up" et "She's Like Candy", princiers et clinquants à souhaits dans le phrasé et le beat, mais pure Funk dans le feeling.
Cache-sexes en plastique noir, cuissardes et coupes en brosse des années pop, Cameo rassemble tous les grands frappeurs de pistes de danse.
Les versions maxi prolongent le plaisir, c'est l'euphorie en stéréo. Cameo, c'est pas du pipo !

Cameo exploded the funk bomb in 1980 with Cameosis. In 1985, Cameo did it again with "Word Up"and"She's Like Candy", princey and sophisticated with slaping beats.
Black plastic panties, leather and short haircut, Cameo was a solid disco killer with many Billiboards hits.
Extended versions in stereo makes the funky euphoria longer. Cameo is a blasting pure funk reference!

Funkadelic - Parliament - George Clinton

Mélangeant Rock psychédélique des années 60 et Blues, Funkadelic est à l'origine d'une sorte de Féderation "P-Fonk", pure-funk.
Auparavent, George Clinton officiait dans son groupe Parliament. Parliament enregistre plusieurs succès durant 1967, puis Billy Nelson suggère de créer Funkadelic, l'inspiration accrue par le LSD et la culture psychédelique. Clinton forme donc Funkadelic et en 1970 sort l'album éponyme.
Les cinq membres de Funkadelic créent une curieuse confusion avec Parliament, semblant ne faire qu'un seul et même groupe. Le second album de Funkadelic démontre clairement les influences classiques et l'essor du synthésizer durant les 70's, créant un jazz-fusion inspiré typique du P-Funk.
Après leur troisième album, Bootsy Collins rejoint la bande et Funkadelic est signé par Warner Bros. En 1975 le groupe livre son fantastique "Hardcore Jollies". En 1977, Funkadelic enregistre son désormais classique "One Nation Under The Groove" tandis que Parliament cartone avec "Flash Light"… "Aqua Boogie "atteindra le disque de platine. Cette schysophrenie musicale de George Clinton est un modèle qui a activement inspiré Prince.
Jusqu"en 1977, les deux groupes surfent sur l'or. Les membres originaux de Parliament , Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Le Simon et Grady Thomas quittent la P-Funk Organisation pour créer leur label. 1981, avec "Connections and Disconnections" Funkadelic remet ça mais en 1980, Clinton a déjà délaissé Parliament et Funkadelic (mais pas les musiciens) pour commencer sa carrière solo avec "Computer Games" en 1982. Hélas, les 80's dédaignent le P.Funk , lié aux ringardes 70's , et le succès se fait la malle…
Mais c'est dés 1989 que Prince tend la main à un Georges Clinton abandonné et perdu par la drogue avec sa participation au projet Grafity Bridge et l'album Smell My Fingers. Ainsi, c'est un George Clinton résuccité qui percute le funk aux Gramy Awards 2004 entouré de deux géénrations funk : EWAF et Outkast !Au début des années 90 Dr. Dre et Warren G réssucitent le plus grand groupe Funk des 80's et de nouveaux funk-rockers (Primus et Red Hot Chili Pepper) rétablissient le statut royal de Clinton & co, une des forces les plus importantes de l'histoire de la musique noire.

2005,George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars sort son 9ème album, le double CD 2bb4ur, avec la participation de Prince à la guitar et l'emprunt du morceau Clintonien Princier "Can U Paradigm". Peut-être pas plus de 5 titres sont supers voir ok. Le reste c'est de la soupe indigeste rap, R&B totalement inutile. Le P-Funk serait-il définitivement mort ?

Released in 1970, Funkadelic's self-titled debut album listed only producer Clinton and the five members of Funkadelic. Just after the release of their third album, "Maggot Brain", P-Funk added yet another big contributor, Bootsy Collins.
Funkadelic moved to Warner Bros in 1975 and delivered its major-label debut "Hardcore Jollies" one year later to lackluster sales and reviews. The same year, Westbound raided its vaults and countered with Tales of Kidd Funkadelic. Ironically, the album did better than Hardcore Jollies and included an R&B Top 30 single, "Undisco Kidd."
In 1977, Westbound released The Best of the Early Years while Funkadelic recorded what became its masterpiece (and arguably the best P-Funk release ever), 1978's One Nation Under a Groove. During the most successful year in Parliament/Funkadelic history, Parliament hit the charts first with "Flash Light," P-Funk's first R&B number one. "Aqua Boogie" would hit number one as well late in the year, but Funkadelic's title track to One Nation Under a Groove spent six weeks at the top spot on the R&B charts during the summer. The album, which reflected a growing consistency in styles between Parliament and Funkadelic, became the first Funkadelic LP to reach platinum (the same year that Parliament's Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome did the same).
In 1979, Funkadelic's "(Not Just) Knee Deep" hit number one as well, and its album (Uncle Jam Wants You) reached gold status. At just the point that Funkadelic appeared to be at the top of its powers, the band began to unravel. In early 1981, they hit the R&B charts with a single called "Connections and Disconnections," recorded as Funkadelic. To confuse matters more, the original Funkadelic appeared on the charts at the same time, with the title track to The Electric Spanking of War Babies. This schysophrenia has actively inspired Prince.
During 1980, Clinton began to be weighed down by legal difficulties arising from Polygram's acquisition of Parliament's label, Casablanca. Jettisoning both the Parliament and Funkadelic names (but not the musicians), Clinton began his solo career with 1982's Computer Games. He and many former Parliament/Funkadelic members continued to tour and record throughout the '80s as the P.Funk All Stars, but the decade's disdain of everything to do with the '70s resulted in critical and commercial neglect for the world's biggest funk band, especially one which in part had spawned the sound of disco. During the early '90s, the rise of funk-inspired rap (courtesy of Digital Underground, In 1989, Prince saved George Clinton from chaos with his Grafity Bridge collaboration and signed him on his label Paisley park for the new album "Small My Fingers".
Dr. Dre and Warren G.) and funk-rock (Primus and Red Hot Chili Peppers) re-established the status of Clinton & co., one of the most important forces in the recent history of black music.

2005, George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars releases his 9th album, the double CD 2bb4ur, with Prince playing some guitar and the Clintonian title "Can U Paradigm" signed by Prince. Maybe about 5 tracks are great or ok. The rest is bad rap, R&B and totally useless material. Is P-Funk dead? .
