[@normanhacker3588]

Hello.

[@JamesZaworski]

I saw them do this at the then Holiday Star Plaza in Indiana back in like 1989 or 1990, maybe 1991. I even had the chance to meet up with George and Stanley later and had some champagne with them. I was born in 65 and told them I had been listening to their music since I was 8, thanks to my older sibs. They told me I made them feel old but they were cool with it.

[@ronaldelston6039]

DIRTY DIRTY FUNK UP IN HERE ,RIP GEORGE DUKE, LOVE THE VIDEO TOO STANLEY AND GEORGE CLINTON🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pinstripepride5490]

Back in the day, the funky aliens onboard the mothership brought down the Funk like no one. As a bass player, I see this in this video a legendary bassist paying tribute to Boogie Mosson, Billie Bass Nelson, & Bootsy Collins.

[@robertrobinson9382]

I'm glad to see George Clinton team up with his past rivals. George Duke whom he once called George Dukey and Philip Bailey whom he once called Philip's group Earth, Hot Air And No Fire! Funky Jam though!

[@darryldogan1892]

Yeah, Those were the brainchild of P-Funk album cartoonist, Pedro Bell: "Trick James", "George Puke", etc... Clinton actually dispatched Bootsy Collins to George Duke's backstage to bestow upon him a "License To Practice Funk", signed by Dr. Funkenstein himself. I love both versions of this song. P-Funk is P-Funk and nothing more need be said. But Clarke/Duke's version has a swing to it that the original lacks, albeit in a far sparser production. I met Mr. Duke and his lovely wife, Corine back in 2010 and hung out with them for a week onboard a cruise ship and spent some time with him again the following year. The year after that, Corine passed away. The following year, there went George. It's still a raw nerve. I miss them both every day.
