| Beschreibung: | George Clinton's imagination knew no bounds and, defying normal music industry convention, by 1978 had five bands signed to three different record labels. One of these comprised of three Parliament / Funkadelic female backing singers working under the name of Parlet, whose debut single, 'Pleasure Principle' was released on Casablanca Records in March 1978. It was Clinton's idea that two other backing singers, Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva, become The Brides of Funkenstein, a character he invented for the 1976 Parliament LP, "The Clones Of Dr Funkenstein". "I have to be honest - at first, I hated the name and I thought George was kidding," Mabry told Blues & Soul, "But I have gotten to like it - especially just the Brides." Clinton got the Brides signed to Atlantic Records and their first single was 'Disco To Go' / ' When You're Gone'. The A-side was written and produced by Clinton and Bootsy Collins and had originally featured in live shows by Collins' live band. Clinton was asked by Black Echoes why the song was recorded by the Brides rather than Bootsy. "He could, and it would have been a smash too," he replied. "But we thought it sounded too much like James Brown, so we gave it to the girls. Now it don't sound like James Brown." It certainly did not and this electronic bass and horn-powered banger - complete with an Old MacDonald nursery rhyme refrain - debuted on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart at #80 on 30th September 1978. By the time the P-Funk crew were flying across the Atlantic in early November it had peaked at #7. Sadly for UK fans, 'Disco To Go' was only available on import although a Black Echoes review stated it was a "Slow chunky handclapper. It sounds not unlike Funkadelic's own 'Coming Round The Mountain'". 'Disco To Go', went gold in America selling over 500,000 copies. It was the perfect springboard for the Brides debut LP, "Funk Or Walk" which quickly climbed into the upper reaches of the R&B chart and even saw the duo embark upon a signing tour of record stores. All of the songs on "Funk Or Walk" were written by legends of P-Funk, such as Bootsy Collins, Rodney Curtis, Bernie Worrell, Gary Shider and Clinton. "George has got thousands of tracks," Mabry told Black Echoes. "When we go into the studio he says, 'Like this track?" And we go 'Aaaaaahh naa.' 'Like this one?, Runningtime: 00:00:00, Labelcode BGP6711212.2"Funk Or Walk" ist das Debütalbum der Brides Of Funkenstein aus dem Jahr 1978 und jetzt als CD bei Ace Records erhältlich. Dieses energiegeladene Werk fängt den Geist des späten 70er-Jahre-Funks ein ? mit mitreißenden Grooves, kraftvollen Vocals und einer einzigartigen Mischung aus Soul- und Dance-Rhythmen. Zu den Highlights zählen Songs wie ?Disco To Go? und ?War Ship Touchante?, die die dynamische Energie sowie das musikalische Können der Band eindrucksvoll unter Beweis stellen. Die Brides Of Funkenstein wurden im Umfeld von George Clintons Parliament-Funkadelic gegründet: Dawn Silva und Lynn Mabry brachten als starke weibliche Stimmen frischen Wind in das ansonsten männlich dominierte Genre und erlangten so internationale Anerkennung unter Funk-Liebhabern.
