This previously-planned release was reported here following a report on the VH1 website in March 2004: http://www.vh1.com/artist...tars.jhtml "George Clinton, etc...That's why he recruited some of the top rappers in the game to contribute to a forthcoming album and TV special. On October 30 and 31, a galaxy of P-Funk alums — including Clinton, Collins, Worrell, Hampton, horn player Maceo Parker and others who have beamed in and out of the ranks over the years — will gather in Los Angeles to record a two-hour TV special called "P-Funk Nation Celebration: History of Parliament/ Funkadelic and Influences." For the show, the funkmasters will again be surrounded by stars. Outkast, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg and Raphael Saadiq have already signed on to join the band for Parliament/ Funkadelic classics like "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker"), "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" and "Dr. Funkenstein." Other artists who agreed verbally but haven't yet signed contracts include Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Smokey Robinson, and Rolling Stones guitarists Ron Wood and Keith Richards, Clinton said. Clinton's management is currently in negotiations with several networks to air the program, which will be directed by Reggie Hudlin, who wrote and directed "House Party." "He said he went to Harvard just to learn how to do movies so he could actually film the P-Funk story," Clinton said. "We met him in the '80s, and we've been working on getting something like this together with him ever since." After the TV special, Parliament/ Funkadelic will embark on a global trek they're calling the Final Landing of the Mothership Tour. It will be their first tour in 18 years etc... Very cool! Since this is going to be in Los Angeles, I AM DEFINATELY going to this! This was a report from March 2004 when a tribute was planned for October later that year: it never happened, just as the album release never materialised as planned in 2004. Maybe, something will come of it and you'll get a chance to attend, but somehow I doubt the show is likely to occur now. Sorry to break the news. . ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. | |

Mr Clinton hasn't done anything decent in about 25 years .... okay ... 15 years ... exactly the same period Prince hasn't done anything decent!! No .... I tell you, Prince hasn't released one decent album for about 15 years!! And still I'm the greatest fan of all! I ain't disagreeing with you there! Don't worry, I can't get pregnant - my ovaries are diseased...... | |
