This collection is comprised of songs from ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE, UNCLE JAM WANTS YOU, and THE ELECTRIC SPANKING OF WAR BABIES. Contains 18 tracks. Liner Note Author: Lewis Dene. Recording information: 03/26/1976/04/??/1978. While 1992's Westbound compilation, MUSIC FOR YOUR MOTHER: FUNKADELIC 45's, features tracks from between 1969 and 1976, THE BEST OF FUNKADELIC covers prime tracks from the group's Warner Bros. years--1976 through 1981. This five-year span proved to be the most commercially successful for the Parliament-Funkadelic clan, as they racked up a significant number of hit singles and albums on both the R&B and pop charts. The material from this period is less rock-based than the group's early-'70s releases, focused instead upon the burgeoning dance-disco scene of the late '70s. Funkadelic's rock side does shine through from time to time, as on a live version of their classic "Cosmic Slop" and the boldly-titled "Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?" Perhaps they realized that disco's days were numbered. But many a selection from THE BEST OF FUNKADELIC ruled the dance floors of the '70s, including "One Nation Under A Groove," "(Not Just) Knee Deep," and "Uncle Jam Wants You." The last two are presented in their best-known edited versions. Virtually every hip-hop band of the '90s has sampled heavily from the tracks on THE BEST OF FUNKADELIC, a fact that further proves Funkadelic's amazing impact on music.
