About this photograph
George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic at The Portman Hotel in London, UK photographed in 1985 by David Corio.
"One of my personal musical heroes and one of my favourite people to photograph. George clowns around so much in front of the camera that he makes it very easy to get a good portrait of him. He originally trained as a hair dresser and has always been conscious of his image from his earliest days in his doo wop band The Parliaments. They later changed radically to become Parliament and various off-shoots including Funkadelic helped create what became known as the P-Funk sound which mixed heavy funk with elements of rock and loose jams that could see his shows going on for more than four hours." - David Corio
