Time for something entirely different: A clip from “The Carol Burnett Show” featuring not one, not two but TEN SANTAS (https://youtu.be/epm-5fxwSjQ?is=ELZndnOcuv8-eaCv)#MusComEnt #TheCarolBurnettShow

First up we have Parliament Funkadelic live from The Summit in Houston, Texas in 1976 (https://youtu.be/r5aHD5ruSZ0?is=pp8KK86lCMqJWv8w) Sorry about the video quality. The audio and, of course, The vibes remain pretty immaculate to make up for it #MusComEnt #EarthWindAndFireDay #ParliamentFunkadelic #PFunk

Parliament Funkadelic began life as the 1950s New Jersey-based Doo-Wop group The Parliaments and their backing band who by the late 1960s became known as Funkadelic due to a legal dispute with their record label shortly after that they became the #PFunk we know today #MusComEnt #ParliamentFunkadelic

This performance features the P Funk Mothership AKA The Mothership AKA The Holy Mothership which is a space vehicle model belonging to Dr. Funkenstein AKA the honorable George Clinton. Originally just a conceptual element of their music it became a physical prop that was used in Parliament-Funkadelic live concerts from the 1970s into the 1990s. As of 2021 a replica resides in the Oakland Museum of California #MusComEnt #EarthWindAndFireDay #ParliamentFunkadelic #Afrofuturism #PFunk

George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 by Prince. You can watch their induction here (https://youtu.be/EbS2dIADcsg?is=StnvmllKsXIVnDMb) & their performance here (https://youtu.be/k4EKAG8lASU?is=Zzs0B6oEbaNwTAOf)#MusComEnt #EarthWindAndFireDay #ParliamentFunkadelic #PFunk #GeorgeClinton

And now the reason for the #EarthWindAndFireDay season: Here’s Earth Wind and Fire LIVE in Japan in 1979 (https://youtu.be/alROoSD0BX4?is=4VsvdyVLsH5dR8L7)#MusComEnt #EarthWindAndFire

Just a head’s up: I’ll be showing the recent #EarthWindAndFire documentary to kick off #BlackHistoryMonth so mark your calendars #MusComEnt

Every year I put together a Funk Playlsit for #EarthWindAndFireDay but this year I decided what better way to celebrate the day than with some live performances from the godfathers of #funk. You can listen to a MegaMix of the annual playlists here (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe3kSl6nSbfs&si=4QLR2xdr0RDXQjuT) #MusComEnt #RetroView

“You have 5 ‘Darvins’- DARVIN?!.. ‘DARVIN’ is the world’s stupidest name!” #MusComEnt

“The Adventures of Pete and Pete” is a lifelong favorite of mine. It’s like “Twin Peaks” without the crime and such. Just a town of wonderfully weird people living their lives #MusComEnt #TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete
