Mastermind Clinton is a genius lyricist who is idolized in the hip-hop world, and his talented musicians, especially keyboardist Bernie Worrell, bassist Bootsy Collins (from James Brown's band), and guitarists Michael Hampton, Eddie Hazel, and Gary Shider are worshipped by rock fans. Known collectively as Parliament-Funkadelic, P-Funk became the most outrageous African-American band of the 1970s and 80s, famous for landing the "Mothership" on stage during 4 hour marathon concerts. The Parliaments eventually evolved into a mainstream funk group under the name Parliament, and Funkadelic assumed its own identity as a psychedelic soul group inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Sly & The Family Stone. Parliament began in the 1960s in New Jersey as a doo-wop vocal group called The Parliaments, and Funkadelic served as their band. George Clinton is the legendary leader of the bands Parliament and Funkadelic which record separately and perform together in concert. Earth, Wind & Fire has recorded numerous classics over five decades, including "After The Love Has Gone (1979), "Shining Star" (1975), and "That's The Way of the World" (1975).
