History

Parliament grew out of The Parliaments, a doo-wop vocal group George Clinton led from a Plainfield, New Jersey barbershop in the late 1950s, with Ray Davis, Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon, and Grady Thomas. After a 1967 hit, "(I Wanna) Testify," and a contractual dispute over the group's name, Clinton relaunched the act as Parliament in 1970 and signed it to Casablanca Records in 1974, pairing it with sister band Funkadelic under the sprawling P-Funk umbrella. Backed at various points by keyboardist Bernie Worrell, guitarist Garry Shider, bassist Bootsy Collins, and the Horny Horns, Parliament built a horn-driven, synthesizer-heavy funk sound wrapped in elaborate Afrofuturist mythology and stage theatrics. Its commercial peak ran 1975-1978 with Mothership Connection, The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, and Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome, yielding No. 1 R&B singles "Flash Light" and "Aqua Boogie" and the million-selling "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)." Clinton dissolved the group in the early 1980s but revived it in 2018 for the album Medicaid Fraud Dogg.
