During his heyday as a bandleader and organizer,
George Clinton had several elements of his
Parliament/
Funkadelic empire signed with record labels.
The Brides of Funkenstein were a female group who accompanied his other bands on tours. They recorded for Atlantic from 1978 to 1980. While
Chaka Khan's sister
Taka Boom was once a member, the group's roster on the Atlantic sessions included
Lynn Mabry and
Dawn Silva. They also got assistance from
the Dramatics'
Ron Banks and Larry Demps. The single "Disco to Go" was number seven on the R&B charts in 1978; it was their lone hit, although the song "Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy" was probably their most interesting record. ~ Ron Wynn
