First released on LP in 1981 as
Connections & Disconnections and reissued on CD in 1992 as Who's a Funkadelic?, this album went down in history as the only
Funkadelic project that
George Clinton had nothing whatsoever to do with. Many funksters were quick to dismiss this album, questioning its authenticity and arguing that the band had no right to call itself
Funkadelic without "President Clinton" on board. True,
Clinton's input is sorely missed, but in fact, this is far from a bad album. While Who's a Funkadelic? isn't in a class with
One Nation Under a Groove or
Uncle Jam Wants You, hard funk offerings like "Phunklords," "You'll Like It Too" and "The Witch" are fairly enjoyable. Colleagues like
Fuzzy Haskins and
Grady Thomas had learned from the master himself, and this very underrated offering shows that they also had some worthwhile things to say.
