Building the P-Funk sound
George Clinton is an American singer, songwriter and bandleader born in Kannapolis, North Carolina. He developed the musical collective known as Parliament-Funkadelic, often called P-Funk.
Recording under the names Parliament and Funkadelic, Clinton and his collaborators combined funk with soul, rock and elaborate stage imagery. The collective helped shape a sound that later musicians continued to draw upon.
Parliament-Funkadelic entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Clinton and the collective also received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.
In Trolls World Tour (2020), Clinton voices King Quincy, connecting his musical identity with an animated story built around different musical traditions. The film list below shows only titles currently available on FLM.RED.
