They were delightfully weird from the outset. I can imagine Stax or Motown looking at these lyrics and saying, "Uh, sorry, George. Pass." Developed into a real goodie on DOWNSTROKE (1974).
Actually that's why GC wasn't allowed in motiwns stable of singwriters and producers I think berry saw GC as a threat and the next big thing Also GC wasn't gonna take Berry's crap they was both bosses and control.freaks the only difference was that GC didn't know how to run a label and he wasn't CEO material P
@@gandalfshakur8235 yes motown was another on george who.loved motown Stevie wonder was one of his personal favorites and george admired smokeys songwriting
@@chrisedwards3214 If you listen to Parliament's very first (and personal favorite - Osmium) you could tell how much George pretty much illustrated his love of music along with influences culminated during the 60s. If you haven't played yet, I suggest playing it front to back along with some suds n smoke.
@@gandalfshakur8235 yrs osmium had everything, premetal, rock, country, folk, opera, gospel, all the insanity that only gc snd his crew can be involved in
@Chris Edwards In fact, many of their Funk delivery of early George Clinton was rhytmically based on "Strawberry fields" kind of beat (around 95 bpm straight beat) and, of course Vanilla Fudge, the nyc band that influenced to Led Zeppelin
+Ernest Hardison George loved the British white groups so he figured he would do.his version of rock can't believe this is the George that was in mommy what's a funkadelic
Motown thought gc tunes was too weird and odd which was why very few was recorded by any motown artits but gc proved he waa just a good writer as smokey and whitfrlield and the rest of the corporation
Why couldn't he created his own sound why in the hell did he have to have beatles and the stones as a frickin influence they started in music at the same time u better be asking how many black artists influenced the stones and the beatles don't get it twisted
Gc and the group was imitating Motown which gc loved even if they didn't accept him in the fold Berry thought gcs lyrics was too weird as everybody else did
