Talkhouse Weekend Playlist: Soul Samples with Holiday87

McIntosh “for the love of music…” — Gregory Porter

Recording both as Parliament and Funkadelic, George Clinton revolutionized R&amp;B during the ’70s, twisting soul music into funk by adding influences from several late-’60s acid heroes: Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Sly Stone. The Parliament/Funkadelic machine ruled black music during the ’70s, capturing over forty R&amp;B hit singles (including three number ones) and recording three platinum albums.

For well over a decade, Joshua Winstead has played bass in Metric, an ongoing occupation that has involved the creation of six critically-acclaimed albums and multiple globe-spanning tours. But before that Winstead grew up as a singer and guitarist, and his songwriting, which toes the line between soulful bedroom pop and slinky R&amp;B, grapples with racism and empathy in America. His first solo album, MMXX, was released in June 2016.
