George Clinton & the Cosmic Odyssey of the P-Funk Empire by Kris Needs
The biography of George Clinton, one of music's most fascinating, colourful and innovative characters, featuring a new cover and foreword by critic Miles Marshall Lewis.
"The book is historical and gives an early background of one of the most influential bands in music history" Richard Boyce, original Parliaments bassist
"Fascinating and done with great sensitivity, depth and humour" Felice Rosser, Detroit bassist
"Kris Needs' ebullient offering tells the story of The Funk Mob the way it needs to be told! The extensive, slang-infested treatment is the best of the bios at capturing the illogical synchronicity of stank that inhabits the P-Funk. Most of all, for even the most dormant of us Maggots, Clones and Funkateers, it's a hilarious read!" Rickey Vincent, author of Funk: The Music, the People and the Rhythm of The One
"Kris Needs is an excellent chronicler and confidante of Clinton... you're in very safe hands" Classic Rock
"Brimming with facts and astute observations that place the man and his music within the context of its era." Record Collector
