Parliaments - Testify! - The Best of the Early Years


Parliaments - Testify! - The Best of the Early Years

@ 320 kbps - Covers are included

1. (I Wanna ) Testify 2. I Can Feel The Ice Melting 3. All Your Goodies Are Gone 4. Don't Be Sore At Me 5. Little Man 6. Goose That Laid The Golden Egg 7. Look At What I Almost Missed 8. What You Been Growing 9. Good Old Music 10. Time 11. New Day Begins 12. I'll Wait 13. I'll Wait (Instumental) 14. All Your Goodies Are Gone (Instumental) 15.

The Parliaments, which later evolved into Funkadelic and Parliament, consisted of George Clinton, Fuzzy Haskins, Ray Davis, Grady Thomas and Calvin Simon. This is one of the few compilations of their work. Funkier and more polished versions of (I Wanna) Testify, All Your Goodies Are Gone, The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg, Good Old Music, Baby I Owe You Something Good and That Was My Girl would eventually be recorded by Funkadelic and/or Parliament. However, there is something very special about the rawer Temptations-like versions of these songs and the other songs on this CD. It captures an era and it provides PFunk fans a listen to the early stages of George Clinton's incredibly diverse and ever evolving music. If you are a PFunk fan, this CD is a must have for your collection.
