George Clinton is the funk mastermind behind some of the now landmark recordings of Parliament and Funkadelic beginning in the 1970s, including the largely successful hit “Flashlight.” George Clinton was also an early pioneer in the use of electronic keyboards and the process in which electronic instruments were being recorded. In recent years, he has been a fixture at the NAMM show, not only as endorsee, but as a musician passionate about music making.
