George Clinton
George Clinton is considered one of the fathers of funk. He's known as much for his outlandish, multi-colored clothes as for his innovative albums, such as 'Some Of My Best Jokes Are Friends' and 'The Cinderella Theory.' Many American rappers confess they owe a debt to Clinton. He was the architect of the Parliament and Funkadelic bands before embarking on a solo career in '81. Clinton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in '97 and is the subject of the fall season premier of PBS's Independent Lens.
