...And Your Ass Will Follow

By: George Clinton
Narrated by: George Clinton

Publisher's summary

Revolutionary singer, songwriter, producer, bandleader, and funk icon George Clinton travels the rich cosmos of his musical history. As the second most sampled artist in the world (right behind James Brown), Clinton examines his incongruous path from delivering milk to Sarah Vaughan on Avon Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, to embodying funk as we know it—from Motown to the Mothership. Clinton’s experiences as the mastermind behind his bands Parliament and Funkadelic and as the foremost authority on all things funk make for a distinctive, humorous, and thoughtful journey through modern music. Featuring exclusive live musical performances of favorites from Clinton’s catalogue, including “Atomic Dog”, “Flash Light”, and “Give Up the Funk”, ...And Your Ass Will Follow invites listeners to strap in as funk’s greatest recounts the highs and highlights of his wild career, carving his own path, and soaking up all the universe has to offer along the way. All aboard the Mothership.

They brought the funk and I can't get enough!

A personal retelling of the beginnings of the legendary Parliament Funkadelics. From the little town of Chase City, VA, a star was born whose light continues to shine even as the torch is being passed to the next generation. May the funk live on forever!

SO SO GOOD

Amazing to hear from George Clinton and get live funky performances of some of his hits. Found the convos around sampling really interesting as he’s one of the most samples artists to date. Really appreciated the artistry of this Words + Music.

Diapers? Chicken feet? Oh my!

This was an extraordinary blast from the past. Took me back to that time of acid taking and weed smoking. I loved “Like this Broken Heart” We had the Funkedelic album with this song. George Clinton definitely made a permanent footprint in funk. Listening to this brought back that whole experience. Loved it!!!

Mr. Clinton’s Creativity

Mr. Clinton is such an awesome creative being. He seems very in tune with his feelings and know how to not only create art but make money in the process. It seems he has done this all his life. I appreciate hearing about his early life as well and how he made due with every opportunity across which he came.
