But how many kids like that ended up playing to tens of thousands of rabid fans alongside a diaperclad guitarist? How many of them commissioned a spaceship and landed it onstage during concerts?

As a high school student, George traveled to New York City, where he absorbed all the trends in pop music, from traditional rhythm and blues to Motown, the Beatles, the Stones, and psychedelic rock, not to mention the formative funk of James Brown and Sly Stone. By the dawn of the seventies, he had emerged as the leader of a wildly creative musical movement composed mainly of two bandsParliament and Funkadelic. And by the bicentennial, Clinton and his PFunk empire were dominating the soul charts as well as the pop charts. He was an artistic visionary, visual icon, merry prankster, absurdist philosopher, and savvy businessmen, all rolled into one. He was like no one else in pop music, before or since.Written with wit, humor, and candor, this memoir provides tremendous insight into Americas music industry as forever changed by Clintons massive talent. This is a story of a beloved global icon who dedicated himself to spreading the gospel of funk music.
