Yeah it was ok....I hope TV One isn't adding more revered artists in favor of the obscure ones to just get more views and popularity. I am STILL waiting for my Sylvers episode, by the way TV ONE.

Did anyone seen him with his real hair?

He actually look better without the indian chief color wig

Just a bunch of Talking heads.......no real insight. It's all the shit I already knew.

Disappointing.

Did they address the crack usage?

I dunno...

To some degree, I can understand him being one

Well I can kinda see it too...with his legal issues perhaps... then again I don't know... he IS in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, rappers sampled him for years, he's often mentioned. The fact they were successful without crossing over to pop is outstanding. I guess they could've focused on why the group didn't cross over to pop but then that wasn't what George wanted anyway.

Hasn't happened before or since. George's the only one who really got away with that.

Would have like to know since he owns the Warner Bros. stuff, wondered if that includes Bootsy's recordings too?

Plus what about the Capitol recordings?

Do he own "Atomic Dawg"

Because if he does, then he should be financially ok on that tune alone, much as it's been sampled.

I think because he signed with that corrupt dude, all of his songs are in that dude's name rather than George. I could be wrong though. George still has enough money to have a recording studio in his home so I don't know.

yeah, he can't be that broke if he got an studio

Next season on Unsung:

Nat King Cole

Prince

Diana Ross

Following Karen Hughes' wackadoo philosophy, anything is possible. BTW: Does anyone know who and what the cable channel Centric is all about? They busted out with a day long marathon of The Cosby Show that helped me through the flu a couple weeks back.

There was a documentary about P-Funk on PBS a few years ago on their Independent Lens program. I think it was 90 minutes long.

I would like to see one on Slave, Mass Production, and Sister Sledge ironically

all Cotillion/Atlantic artists.

It sucked.

I don't think it was surpasses the PBS documentary. Still, given the fact that Unsung has a big young following, I'm glad they went with it.

I liked the interesting bit on his doo wop Parliaments and the Testify song which

planted the seed for Parliament /Funkadelic. George looked wild as hell singing

Testify. I actually thought it was an interesting episode.

Nevermind, it's the old BETJazz station rebranded and still run by BET. Whatever, Tom!

yeah...not many earth shattering reveletions for the fans in this one (hence why he was a poor chice for this series).

Still though....a lotta reeeeally cool vintage footage in there....worth watching for that alone.

But Peanut claimed that he help write 'One Nation Under A Groove', 'Flashlight' and other tunes.

That was a new one on me

I've heard a few dodgy claims like that from several of the Mob over the years......I dunno. Listen to "One Nation".......that thang sounds like a massive collabo if there ever was one. I mean, shit..they had a damned banjo lick they were vibin offa at first...had to most of em contributing (along with a few LSD martinis).
