"I talk by playing, not by words." - Bernie Worrell
My argument: George Clinton is a musical promoter par excellence with a hell of an ear. This is not to downplay his significance. But the innovation within Funkedelic is Bernie Worrell....it was his work with synthesizers that made the P-Funk foundation and structured the sound..from arrangements to production. This is the discipline of the sound. Without it - this is a group that doesn't make it out of Detriot and sustain its success. A classically trained pianist driving black rock. As an artist, he is criminally overlooked.
All The Woo In The World was the debut album by Parliament-Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell. Released in 1978 by Arista Records. The P-Funk cast of muscians is present throughout the album. Interesting to pair Bernie Worrell and Junie Morrison together...sparks fly. History will judge this music.

Hold On is such a beautiful and complex song. Written by George Clinton and Worrell. Worrell on lead vocals, Fred Wesley's great trombone intro and sustained melody, and Junie Morrison on keyboard. Etheral. "I'll be your co-signer".
Hold On
