Recording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B during the 1970s, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from late-‘60s acid heroes including Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone and ruling black music of the era as a result. With the early ‘90s rise of funk-inspired rap, Grammy-winner Clinton’s status enjoyed a revival that has continued to this day, including a honorary doctorate several years ago from Boston’s renowned Berklee College of Music.
