    George Clinton is singing on Hollywood, at the very least.

    Edit: Hollywood (Africa), sorry it’s been a bit :) It’s also confirmed in Clinton’s book, Yo George Ain’t That Funkin Kinda Hard On You. Apparently some tracks therein were unused Parliament tracks – RHCP were big fans.

    In fact, here they are playing with Parliament (near the end), e.g. @1:20:00 on Cosmic Slop.

    Edit #2: George Clinton also reprises the “Holly would, if Holly could” stuff on his solo track Hollywood, off of 1993’s Hey Man, Smell My Finger (which is a fire album regardless of name).

      OK, I think I understand what you mean, for me it sounded more like George Clinton was a background singer, but you can definitely hear him louder in some parts. Thanks for posting those sources, I think I’m going to listen to P-Funk now.

        George is definitely singing alone as the song starts. Once you hear some more P-Funk, his voice is easy to recognize. There’s also a few cues he does all the time (e.g. the “well all right” the song starts with).

        Technically it’s a duet.
