George Clinton to Get Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame: ‘I’m Proud as Hell’
George Clinton talks about getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The ceremony honoring the Parliament-Funkadelic mastermind — whose music added psychedelic and Afrofuturistic flares to funk, effectively laying the groundwork for hip-hop — will take place at 11:30 AM PT on Jan. 19 in front of the Musicians Institute and will be streamed live on WalkOfFame.com. Other scheduled speakers include civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is assisting Clinton in regaining the copyrights to some of his albums, and songwriter Janie Bradford, who co-wrote “Money (That’s What I Want)” with Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. But when he does pause to consider his career, he sees recognitions like getting real estate on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as an honor that he shares with many people — the dozens of musicians who have played with him in Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, and many others.
