The very first Funkadelic best of' compilation to cover both their Westbound and Warner Brothers years. over a period of 12 years from their westbound debut album to the release of 1981's 'the electric spanking of war babies', Funkadelic, piloted by George Clinton, redefined the way that black music was recorded and presented. they scored 20 r&b chart hit singles and a dozen chart albums, but their influence was far greater. they brought rock music into the black music charts and demanded to be treated like a rock band and in the years following their demise they have become treated as musical greats, by the sampling hip hop hordes and by the rock music establishment.
