Coming on July 17 from Omnibus Press is George Clinton & The Cosmic Odyssey Of The P-Funk Empire, the first in-depth biography of the doings of the funk Godfather, written by former Echoes scribe Kris Needs.
Born from a meeting between the author and artist over 25 years ago, the hardback book looks at the musical journey of one of our music’s true innovators, set against a backdrop of the social and cultural movements of the times. Kris has drawn on his own interviews with George as well as conversations with such as Bootsy Collins, ‘Bigfoot’ Brailey and other P-Funk associates, plus other key cultural figureheads, like Afrika Bambaataa, Prince, Zapp, Public Enemy, Rick James, The Last Poets, The Fugs and MC5.
