Judie used to usually have some harsh words for George.
The Pfunk empire must have really patched some things up for Bernie and his wife.

I guess it's mostly issues over receiving due credits and making payments in full faith. I think things now are handled between managers and escrow accounts. Just my guess.

Where was Bernie all this time? Please fill me in on details on their "falling out."

WOW this is a Surprise.

GEEZ where have you been? Ever heard of Talking Heads? PRAXIS?

Pretty much the falling out was around the time of ONE NATION. I don't really know the details. I can only speculate and make up shit, but a lot of it has to do with money and unpaid royalties.

He's got his own band BERNIE WORRELL & THE WOO WARRIORS. Check the discography at www.bernieworrell.com. There'll be a pop quiz on Monday.

I'll be at both the Texas shows! I'm expecting a hell of a show in Houston at Texas Souther University. Austin always gives up the Funk when George and the P-Funk Allstars come to town. Bernie funked us up recently with a killer show.

good to see u again pfunkjazz

I'm flattered.
How ya doin'?

PFunkjazz said:

Thanks for the info. All that extra shit you could've kept to yourself, though.

okaypimpn said:

wipe & flush junior.

PFunkjazz said:

I do remember a interview with Bernie where he was saying that the reason he was not playing with George anymore was because of the money that was owed to him for previous work, so I guess they have straightened that out and our ready to funk together again!

Bernie Worrell is arguably one of the greatest Keyboardists that has ever lived. His work on Parliaments albums is legendary.

No doubt.

Supernova said:

Here's one of those rare times when Supernova and I argree 100%. It MUST be the truth!

DorothyParkerWasCool said:

the Man covers so Many different Styles of Music&So Many Backgrounds.while I have a Few Other Bands that I prefer more than P-Funk overall:when it comes to straight up Playing I can't think of any Band that can touch those Cats Period.they got every Base covered.George Clinton was Truly Blessed 10 Fold with those Bands he had&those Cats jumping on Board.

Supernova said:

Judie's main gripe was that George never credited her for co-writing 'Red Hot Mama'. He gave her a credit for 'You and Your Folks', which she says she had nothing to do with.

-SWANGonlyknowswhatheknows

Actually George, Bernie and Judie are very good friends.
They had disputes as they say time heals all wounds.


Bernie left the touring band in 85' and was replaced by Amp Fiddler.
