What is the best P-Funk side project?

[Snapping]

There are so many - I know there are some that I haven't heard. I'd have to say that as of know my favourite is the Eddie Hazel album.

My moneys on Ruth Copeland.

[staxwax]

these are two of my favs - but also love that eddie hazel. theyre all pretty much in the same bag tho.

 

[Jimster]

+1 for Eddie Hazel.





Brides was unmemorable.

 

[Junior]

My first thought was Copeland as well though I'd probably go for the histrionics of I Am What I Am.





Does Junie count as his best side projects were before he joined Funkadelic......

I know what you're saying, but this track is seminal pfunk - for a 'side project' - worth the admission price

 

[Jonny_Paycheck]

+1 for Eddie Hazel. One of the best records I own, bar none.

A 1994 episode of the television series Homicide: Life on the Street involved a shooting motivated by one character's destruction of another character's copy of Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs

:oh_my:

Here's some other great p-funk related stuff not metioned:





Chairmen Of The Board - Skin I'm In LP. Similar to the Copeland albums the backing band is Funkadelic.


Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense LP. This is a stretch, but at this stage the band was touring with Bernie Worrell and Lynn Mabry.


The Parliaments - the group that started it all. Don't sleep on them. Incredible music and about 8 of their tracks went on to be re-recorded by Funkadelic.

CD-only?

[staxwax]

cd only - oh, and if youre wondering who Grace Cook is with all the songwriting credits:





Grace Cook is Eddie Hazel's mother. Eddie used the name of his mother for some writing credits on several P.Funk records, due to some financial problems.

 

[Scott]

Bernie Worrell's 1978 solo LP isn't the best side project, but "Insurance Man for the Funk" slams:

[Horseleech]

Since Eddy has already been taken....





How come nobody's mentioned Bootsy yet?
