I’m a bit fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and really anything John Frusciante or Josh Klinghoffrr
Freaky Styley was the RHCP album that bridged rock and funk for me. It's produced by George Clinton (he's even lead vox on a track). Now I salivate over Parliament/Funkadelic and my friends think I'm crazy.
Freaky Styley is a fucking great album! I don't recall the track with George Clinton as lead singer though, do you mean that if you want me to stay demo?
George Clinton is singing on Hollywood, at the very least.
Edit: Hollywood (Africa), sorry it's been a bit :) It's also confirmed in Clinton's book, Yo George Ain't That Funkin Kinda Hard On You. Apparently some tracks therein were unused Parliament tracks -- RHCP were big fans.
In fact, here they are playing with Parliament (near the end), e.g. @1:20:00 on Cosmic Slop.
Edit #2: George Clinton also reprises the "Holly would, if Holly could" stuff on his solo track Hollywood, off of 1993's Hey Man, Smell My Finger (which is a fire album regardless of name).
OK, I think I understand what you mean, for me it sounded more like George Clinton was a background singer, but you can definitely hear him louder in some parts. Thanks for posting those sources, I think I'm going to listen to P-Funk now.
George is definitely singing alone as the song starts. Once you hear some more P-Funk, his voice is easy to recognize. There's also a few cues he does all the time (e.g. the "well all right" the song starts with).
Technically it's a duet.
