Help Lift Up A Legendary P-Funkateer [Post a Comment]
An LP cover classic from Pedro Bell for Parliament-Funkadelic A short while back, I blogged about the sad financial and health-related plight of P-Funk artist Pedro Bell. Well, if you missed a recent fundraiser for the master of scatalogical album covers, check out this link where you can donate to help the guy out:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=5OoKQdtnNUU-owZbMN_lL7-Xc96xCPUx83KOlLcNvkdqYenAK8bAjJB2W_G&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1ffc45dc241d84e953ae3a912d7415d1a97451b677930c8a71

For the uninitiated or uneducated, Pedro Bell was just as much a part of Parliament-Funkadelic (specifically, the Funkadelic side) as any of the band members. He is the one who crafted all of those crazy album covers and liner notes for all of the Funkadelic and George Clinton albums from 1973 to 1986:
  • Cosmic Slop (1973)
  • Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On (1974)
  • Let’s Take It To The Stage (1975)
  • Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic (1976)
  • Hardcore Jollies (1976)
  • One Nation Under A Groove (1978)
  • Uncle Jam Wants You (Rescue Dance Music From The Blahs) (1979 — pictured above, the originally intended LP cover)
  • The Electric Spanking Of War Babies (1981)
  • Computer Games (1982)
  • You Shouldn’t Nuff Bit Fish (1983)
  • Some Of My Best Jokes Are Friends (1985)
  • R&B Skeleton In The Closet (1986)


Well, if you feel moved to help a legend who is severely down on his luck, click on the link above and donate to his fundraiser via Paypal.
