Chocolate City

Released

Described by Clinton as “straight-out commercial… straight-out sophisticated J.B.’s or Sly Stone funked up”, Chocolate City again saw Parliament upping the groove factor. The album is mostly pile-driver, party-friendly funk, but its precision playing, sophisticated songwriting and bold arrangements make for a more experimental and adventurous sound than many of their mid-70s R’n’B contemporaries. An album of intricate, edgy, Day-Glo, ribald R’n’B, standing on the edge of greatness.
