Funkadelic was the debut album by the American funk band Funkadelic, released in 1970 on Westbound Records. The album showcased a strong bass and rhythm section, as well as lengthy jam sessions, future trademarks of the band. The album contains two remakes of songs from The Parliaments, an earlier band featuring George Clinton: “I Bet You” and “Good Old Music”. “Mommy, What’s a Funkadelic?” and “What is Soul” contained the beginnings of Funkadelic’s mythology, namely that “Funkadelic” and “the Funk” are alien in origin but not dangerous.
