George Clinton To Perform In Sydney and Melbourne

by Paul Cashmere on August 24, 2017

George Clinton will play two 50th anniversary shows in Australia in September.

In 1957 Clinton was a member of funk group The Parliaments. ‘(I Wanna) Testify’ was the first hit for the band. While the song was a US hit reaching no 20, the record label went bust at the same time bringing an end to the band. Clinto would re-record the song in the 70s with his new Parliament.

In Australia, Jon Stevens recorded a version of the song as the title track to his 2010 album ‘Testify’.
