Mallia Franklin featuring Junie Morrison – Buzzards

A tribute post to two great members of the P-Funk family – George Everett Clinton Jr. (aka Georgie aka George Clinton III), and Mallia Franklin.

George Everett Clinton Jr. – George Clinton’s son – I knew well from time I spent with P-Funk in the mid to late nineties, some people call him Georgie C. George Clinton’s children like Georgie, Barbarella, Sean, and also the infamous TreyLewd (Tracy) – http://www.myspace.com/treylewd – always have looked out for me like I am a member of the Clinton family. Such beautiful people.

I remember Georgie’s wide smile, and constant lectures at me, as I was a young buck at the time. Georgie’s got plenty of his own music, and I know there’s more to come out – you can check his group out here on MySpace – http://www.myspace.com/gc3andpfunkfamily.

Georgie – you are sorely missed. Prayers go out to the entire Clinton family, George Sr., and especially George Jr.’s daughter, the talented rapper and vocalist Sativa Diva – seen on stage with P-Funk quite a bit, who I urge you to earpeep over here - http://www.myspace.com/sativadiva

Rest in P-Funk, Georgie.

Unfortunately the news came down Monday, after George had celebrated a really successful 2010 Grammys. I’ll get more to the Grammy performance in a minute.
