Crazy being a teenage white boy in an infantry battalion in the 70s that had sharp divisions of White, Black, and Brown but absolutely grooving whenever the brothers fired up the Funk. 64 now and this music still sends me.
And that ain't nothin but the TRUTH we don't know each other but I hope to bump into on the mother ship..the way shit is now..if it hasn't already left yet better believe its getting gassed up for the ride .., be blessed and never stressed
Multiple dungeon family artist mainly outkast but also sleepy brown were influenced by george clinton, why you think outkast was doing all the ATLiens vibe, they were from that same mothership
I'm 41 years old soon to be 42 My uncle Anthony played Parliament Funkadelic Fatback Band Isley Brothers Slave Rick James & The Stone City Band The Bar-Kays etcetera all while smoking some the strongest bud of that era
I remember from my teen years. When I played KISS and The Sex Pistols my parents thought that was too much but when P-Funk was on the stereo they went through the floor. In 1977 I was the only person in my city that knew of this stuff yet 42 years later in 2019 they were headliners in a concert in my city. Times do change.
What exactly drove your parents? Forgive me as I was born in the early 2000s and I don’t see anything crazy or explicit about the lyrics I mean Im sure it’s something to do with the obvious psychedelic influence but I’m curious what people thought of it at that time period
@@souljahaden6184 In the 1970s my city was a blue collar town and groups like I mention was too extreme for them. In 1973 a gym teacher went nuts because someone was playing Taking care of business by Bachman Turner and Overdrive who were a major rock band back then. It would of been something if he seen his reaction to a Brutal Death Metal band. Simply put it seems the previous generation always has a gripe with the newer generation.
There is only one Bootsy!!!!!! I don't care what you say about bass players, because there are plenty of great ones, but you know it's Bootsy, the moment he touches the bass, with his unique sound!!!
Correct, because this is their interpretation of, "swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home." Written by Wallace Willis in the 1800's. It's deeply soulful and touches on all levels of experiences past, present, future...known as the now-now
Hope y'all dig that this song is about deliverance. The Angel Gabriel with the clarion call good news. Gabriel's horn blows telling y'all to be ready for Elijah's chariot of fire coming to help God's people who are in trouble.
So I’m not crazy…..I’ve looked everywhere!!! Damn shame . That made me notice a lot of their songs were missing. Just watched the Unsung episode on them; If you do it will clear up exactly why.
@@angelodavis4069 I'm not even trying to say he's the best of all time although he could definitely be in the running but I can truthfully say this song is the most powerful example of funk bass
This song is interesting. I've liked that break at the end of mothership connection where they sing "swing down sweet chariot let me ride". It looks like a 12 inch version of it. I also liked the song "Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby".😀
For those wondering what the hell this is...it's DJ Kon's 2012 remix of the Parliament song "Mothership Connection (Star Child)." Kon called it "Let Me Ride (Kon Remix)." And there is an instrumental remix on the B side.
best version ever, every crew members introduce themselves one by one...anthologic piece of art where you can recognize the godfatha' training! i'm looking for a copy for the last 5 years....
I can only hope and pray that I will hear GabriEL's trumpet sound, will be ready and WON'T be left here on this God forsaken planet. And, that the trumpet...sounds...just...like....THIS around the 🌍💕
