Funkadelic was an American funk rock[1] band formed in Plainfield, New Jersey in 1968 and active until 1982. As one of the two flagship groups of George Clinton's P-Funk collective, they helped pioneer the funk music culture of the 1970s.[1][5] Funkadelic initially formed as a backing band for Clinton's vocal group the Parliaments (later the full-fledged band Parliament), but eventually pursued a heavier, psychedelic rock-oriented sound in their own recordings.[5] They released acclaimed albums such as Maggot Brain (1971) and One Nation Under a Groove (1978).
