12 Inspiring Black Artists of Rock (Part 1 of 3)

I found a big version of something I posted yesterday… another rock hair infographic.

I was a young woman with an evolved mind who was not afraid of her beauty or her sexuality. For some people that’s uncomfortable. They didn’t understand how female and strong work together. Or young and wise. Or Black and divine" - Unknown

Funkadelic

Love Child by Diana Ross and The Supremes 1968

A more mature socially conscious sound for the Supremes featuring the superb title track composed and produced by R Dean Taylor and the George Clinton co-authored Can’t Shake It Loose which he would later remake with Funkadelic

So, this may be an unusual Vintage Black Glamour Father’s Day picture for you - but not for me. This is the Maestro of P-Funk, one George Clinton, photographed onstage emerging (from the Mothership?!) down a flight of stairs onstage in 1983. It’s taking everything in me not to include this picture in the upcoming men’s edition of VBG (What do you think? Let me know in the comment section!)  My father, Larry Gainer, was a HUGE P-Funk fan in the 1970s and 1980s - so much so that I nearly drowned in a pool at his apartment complex when I was a kid because he was so busy jammin’ to the P-Funk! Don’t worry - I have long forgiven him. And he is much more into gospel music these days but, it’s too late! The “damage” is done. ‪#‎MakeMyFunkThePFunk‬!
