George Clinton is the CEO of Funk. This is dedicated to my man Chuckles, Freeport Long Island. This was his thang.

[HardyRStudios]

If this song don't make you feel good....THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL!!!

[doc2skate]

Bootsy Collins. Who knew Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, the Brecker Brothers and Joe Farrell played on this album. If I remember right, Parliament, Funkadelic and Bootsy's Rubber Band sometimes all played together. The total number of musicians were about 50.

[bam3831]

I got tickets for my 14 birthday too see Parliament when they came too my city in CT.. Flashlight was rocking then. Thanks again sis and her boyfriend!!!!

[MegaDragonslayer911]

[101shellybelly101]

When I first heard this song, my best friends sat me down on their couch gave me some shrooms and said, "close your eyes and let these songs take you on a journey. " I came back realizing that I am a star knight on the mothership of love and peace.

[kdhenderson100]

@101shellybelly101 Sounds like a hell of a trip, I've been on a trip like that and afterwards I was changed a little from then on.

@partyhardydardy and Youtube verse. I'm not dumb. George was here in the "D" performing Labor Day!! During his stay, he spoke of being here recording in the 70's and 80's in his radio interview!! I visited a studio on 2nd St and Antoinette in Detroit where he recorded! Some of his gold albums are hanging up!! I know where he was born!! He used to live in Detroit!!

[JEDI7ACEN]

When comparing this to some new song I just heard on the radio, this music sounds like it's from the future. I guess that's because it's from The Mothership.

[mannybeez2]

I was 7yrs old, it was 1984. I was exploring my parents record collection. I found this album and instantly drawn to the cover. I grabbed the huge white and black RCA headphones that my father held so dear. Dropped the needle on this album and from the first song on I knew it. It made sense why I felt so different in a world that was telling me what to be and do. That sweet chariot indeed did swing down and carried me home. P-Funk forever.

[IowaEye]

@mannybeez2 Testify!

[thrillamne]
