Messages, fashion, worldview, and groove—everything embodies funk as the legends and the mightiest crew make a phoenix-like return to Billboard Live! Parliament and Funkadelic, freely switching between these two names, have long been the beating heart of funk since the late 1960s; the umbrella term is P-FUNK. George Clinton, the supreme leader who heads that army, has continued to craft the funk grooves that roll on, along with the messages and worldview etched into landmark albums such as Mothership Connection and One Nation Under a Groove, and has continued to exert immense and enduring influence on successors like Prince and D’Angelo. In recent years, he has continued collaborating with Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, and others, and his creativity knows no bounds. With passionate, positive performances that have electrified audiences around the world across generations, he helps drive away the lingering late-summer heat!
