[@anthonytatum7210]

Garry was one of the best YA Damn right,,,,,,,,,,,

[@anthonytatum7210]

Hay Eddie I've had the opportunity to talk with Gray on a few occasion along with most of the guys in Parliament I've had the pleasure of working with Andre Foxxe here in Rochester N.Y it was Funky........

Garry loved the Chocolate city so much, he relocated in the black Maryland suburb and until he went into ancestry!

[@6402680]

The "dude in the pink hat" is the one and only Garry "Starchild" Shider!

[@serpentinefire77]

This was my favourite cut from the “One Nation Under A Groove” album. Gary Shider’s lead vocal is sublime. 🔥🔥🔥✊🏾🙏🏾

[@craigwho2000]

"Cholly" is actually a reference to Cholly Bassoline a member of P FUNK

[@1910east2nd]

R.I.P. Garry Shider!!!!!

[@barrystallings7084]

This is my favorite Funkadelic cut ever, the lyrics were genius level, Gary shider was a Funky Mo4 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿💣

[@philosophershale]

I can't believe this clip is on KZbin. This is one of my favorite 'later' Funkadelic songs. Awesome-tastic!

[@RialColeman820]

I was at this concert and am reliving it as I'm snowed in in Landover, MD

[@Newjock]

RIP Gary ....... what a master inside the diaper or out !

[@sgrew]

the only song i ever knew of parliament was , tear the roof off, it was the only one ever on the radio, but they are FREAKING amazing,this song ,cosmic slop, bop gun , the music is amazing, love the chicks especially the one in orange off shoulder dress, still love zeppelin ,but i have discovered funk and love it

[@goldragons]

@GShiderHarryGreen Your father was a living treasure. Dear God that Man expressed a WHOLE LOTTA SOUL. I miss him dearly!

[@veightengine]

[@TENBGOL1]

Fav cut from that album. True Funk.

[@sgrew]

thanks , man , love the funk

[@roccotool]

This is from George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars - Live. I hope you can still get it. Put this music on whenever you're going through some stress and you can get through ANYTHING!

[@frederickhall9650]

I remember. I was. Awol just. Too go to the show. Had a ball

[@calmingtouch50]

So many questions here. It speaks to the "Organized Confusion " that is P-Funk.

[@kamelgee]

did any body sample this yet?....theres still some funk that hip hop slipped and went to sleep on

[@joshua626]

The bass ending to the original track is so funky. That has to be Bootsy's funkyees bass line ever.

[@spencerchristie3735]

Skeet Curtis i think. Not Bootsy

[@MalcolmWAdams]

May Gary Rest in Peace. Brother Malcolm MC in Japan

[@1maggotbrain]

Funk will live forever

[@Sundance8989]

Whaaat? ddddaly (respectfully) I grew up in Detroit, MI. one of the blackest cities in America... and not ONCE did I ever hear that is what Cholly meant. P-Funk has a history of converting unfunky people in song. Sir Nose anyone? The world narrowed down to two types of people for Parliament in their songs - those that funked... and those that didn't.

[@Monsterdrumma]

@GShiderHarryGreen I back you 100%, and so sorry for your and the worlds loss!

[@IndochineQuinine]

Oh hell yea

[@alexandergallant6444]

Come on CHOLLY

[@londiaevans3934]

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Baggadin]

You're right, this song is about Cholly Atkins - george said this in an interview once when asked

[@Aubreyelise2015]

The dance choreographer for the ojays and temptations?

[@psychodrum125]

yeah one nation under a groove i also gotta live version off of a P-Funk All Stars live CD

[@SmakitNicely]

Sounds like Skeet on bass

[@geoffreylee1495]

Yo that's Skeet, on bass in concert but Bootsy plays the bass on the original track off the album

[@robertbright-jc3sd]

geoffrey lee Mr.Rodney “Skeet”Curtis played the bass on the recording not Bootsy.

[@CosmogCarl]

@nutmahatseba It may be slang for cocaine but this song is about Cholly Atkins, the legendary choreographer for Motown.

[@odeskoo]

...the singer iz garry shider and he sang it on the album 2...

[@fonkhead]

ain't nuthin' but a partay,yall

[@craigmusic1707]

The late great Gary Shider! This was when he held court on stage directin the fonk..where's GC during this period? And what is that Gary is singing at 5:10? It sounds so good!

[@twainfunk57]

This is Parliament NOT The P-Funk All-Stars.That came later.

[@slimron1]

No this is funkadelic the band parliament was the vocals

[@cwillatts]

3:36 to 3:45.... anyone know what the backing lyrics are or is it just scat type singing?

[@Samld98]

Funk it up

[@craigwho2000]

A member of their team (Road Manager) not the band

[@kamelgee]

oops... I mean skeet on 5:34

[@ledzep1021]

funk get ready roll! What in the world are ya'll talkin about?!

[@kamelgee]

love skeet on 4:34

[@rickwatkins9446]

It was definately Skeet

[@terrinelson2322]

Rick Watkins oh Yes it was Rodney ..!!

[@ssbbw00]

does anyone know when glenn died?

[@drohegda]

i don't know why this song is called cholly. i wonder if it is a reference to a guy in motown named cholly atkins. who taught everyone from the supreme , marvin gaye, smokey, o'jays you name them. stage presents and choregraphed dance steps for them. thanks for the videol

[@ssbbw00]

thanks for the info baby i appreciate it he was very young when he died right?

[@saito07]

Whatever happen to Babs Stewart after the Motor Booty Affair tour? She is one of the few ex p-funk members you can't find any info on.

[@originalfunkyfry]

Anybody know who the singer is? Juni Morrison did it on the album I think but that isn't him. Maybe Ron Ford?

[@jayjonesii4049]

That is bad, bravo Parliament-Funkadelic yeah! 😂

[@BobbyEaston]

Too bad you can only give 5 stars on here

[@tomaswhittaker]

Who is the drummer?

[@robertbright-jc3sd]

The Drummer for that your was Tyrone Lampkin

[@Aubreyelise2015]

Gary sholl could sang🤘🏿

[@cursedswordsman]

I don't think it's Bootsy, probably Skeet

[@ikecot3]
