The Parliament-Funkadelic is a collective music group, coalesced around musician George Clinton out of different musical projects. Initially a doo-wop band, The Parliaments, Clinton fused the band with another of his musical efforts, the psychedelic rock group Funkadelic. The combined Parliament-Funkadelic grew and transformed over the early'70s, eventually metamorphosing into a growing"P-Funk Mythology," built out of the shared Afro-futuristic experience of their live performances.
