The Funkadelic / Vanilla Fudge Connection? Maybe y'all have seen this documentary before but I just found this segment on Youtube about the history of the P-funk:

Don't even have to watch the clips. 
I remember reading something about them losing their equipment somehow prior to a gig and The Fudge were generous enough to allow them to use their Rock-ready gear. A definite upgrade to the gear they normally used at the time. tA  Tribal Disorder

That's it.
The Funkadelic band member relating the story said they'd never played on top rate and high powered equipment before and what a revelation it was to them and how it changed their approach to their music. Whoda ever thunk that the Inna Gadda Da Vida guys would have an influence in how the P-funk sound evolved?! Wild. [Edited 4/25/08 11:38am] | |

Oops. My bad, but gimme a break; we was doin' a lot of acid back then and I'm sure some of my 60 year old brain cells got scrambled.
Vanilla Fudge covered the Supremes, You Keep Me Hangin' On. Same idea though: Whoda thunk the Vanilla Fudge would have an influence on the P-funk sound? | |

Funkadelic used to open for bands like VF, MC5 and Black Oak Arkansas in front of college stoners. George has testified that Cream was a model for Funkadelic. test | |

No man, you aint feelin' me here. I was not talking about whatever influence of listening to other bands might have had on them. (BTW, I was actually at a show where Parliament and Cream were on the same bill).
What the P-funker in the documentary was saying is that it was the playing on good quality (and loud) equipment that changed the way they approached their music. They're good clips. You should watch 'em. | |

You're stil not onto my point. George liked the way Cream took long extended solos and jammed out. They were a model as well as a "listening influence". Anyways, I've seen the documentary and already knew the VF PA story. test | |
