    btw, does anyone know who did the artwork?
    Pedro Bell

  • That song "Smokey" blows me away every time. The singing is so motherfucking deep. God damn.

    I can't get enough of George's old singing voice.

    Don't forget that there are a couple 45 only tracks as well from their earlier days. And the Parliaments were a pretty good Soul act as well.

    Can anyone tell me how involved the members of P-Funk were with other recordings on the Invictus (and maybe Hot Wax) label?
    I have one of the Ruth Copeland LP's that they play on, but their contributions there are obvious and documented in the writing credits.
    I got a 45 tonight by Holland-Dozier on Invictus, with the very twisted and funkadelic title, "I'm Gonna Hijack Ya, Kidnap Ya, Take What I Want" - the lyrics are more pimp hand gangsta style of Lamont Dozier's shit around then, but the music and arrangement is * b a n a n a s * and sure sounds like some Funkadelic shit, I wanna know...what other ish are they on?


    ...and singing about hijacking
    and kidnapping women
    and forcing yourself upon them is definitely

    That's them playing on the Chairmen Of The Board's Skin I'm In, a contractual obligation album on Invictus that turned out to be a left-field psych-soul classic.

    Members of P-Funk are also playing on Johnnie Taylor's "Disco Lady."

    As far as Invictus, Ron Dunbar (vocalist on later Funkadelic albums) wrote a lot of songs for that label like for the Chairmen, 8th Day; his biggest were Patches and Band of Gold. As for session work on that label, I'm only aware of the Ruth Copeland and Chairmen of the Board stuff. Session work on other labels is practically endless.

    Ron Dunbar did some fucking incredible work on the Smith Connection LP, which is on Invictus subsidiary Music Merchant.

    I'm actually trying to figure out if there are other similar soul LPs on that label.

    I wish I had the hook-up to post one, but I will say that nobody seems to want this record and it can be had on eBay for the price of a milkshake.

    sheit! thanks guys. i was actually gonna ask if there was some documentary/literature on the funkadelly. this thread on its own serves as education in itself for myself, so much phucking thanks. i've been checking more albums, and its really too bad when u hear people talk about the same 20 bands in the history of music, and u rarely hear about them. if you can remember what if felt like the first time u heard these cats, thats what im going through right now. thanks!
