MotorCity Casino to Welcome George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic to Sound Board, 5/5

MotorCity Casino Hotel is proud to welcome George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic to Sound Board on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. Opening will be Alise King.

Recording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&B during the 70's, twisting soul music into funk by adding influence from several late 60's heroes including Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone.

Clinton's visibility and presence became familiar to a wider audience thanks to appearances in movies "The Night Before," "House Party," "PCU," and "Good Burger," his hosting the HBO original series "Cosmic Slop," and doing commercials for Apple, Nike, and Rio MP3 players. Clinton composed the theme songs for popular TV programs "The Tracey Ullman Show" and "The PJs".

Clinton has received a Grammy Award, a Dove Award (gospel), and an MTV Music Video Awards, and was recognized by BMI, the NAACP Image Awards, and Motown Alumni Association for lifetime achievement. Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. In 2012 he added to his list of accomplishments an Honorary Doctorate of Music from the renowned Berklee College of Music.
