	*********The P.Funk Bibliography*********
	*****************************************
                     July 15, 1996

  RC:   The bibliography gives a listing of a smattering of places
        where people have written about the Funk Mob over the years.
        It's organized in five sections: newspapers, reviews, magazines, 
        books, and other miscellaneous sources.  Most of the books are
	album-review reference sources; I've yet to see a book totally
	devoted to P.Funk.  Each section is organized chronologically.
  	Special props to Edward Friedman, who provided much of this info.
          Whenever possible, the entries are annotated.  Extra-special
	shout-out to Melissa Weber for her efforts here.  Length of
 	article is divided into four categories: full-length, long, 
	medium, and short.

Fox, Ted.  Showtime at the Apollo.  1983.
 MW:	Author Ted Fox closes his book with recollections on 
Parliament-Funkadelic, who gave the last live show ever held at the 
Apollo Theater in Harlem before it closed (only to be reopened in the 
late '80s).  Great portrayal of the fans, the Brides of Funkenstein's 
opening set, the comedy set from "a gangly young black comic" (probably 
James Wesley Jackson, the Funkamedian), and the P-Funk performance.  1 
picture.  
	Note: Fox refers to "a singer named Felipe."  This singer should 
be correctly identified as Philippe Wynne.

 era), as well as selecting the tracks on the excellent Funk Mastercuts
 series.  His book is the business too...funny, insightful, and loaded
 with a funky discography of current CD's.  It also has a heavy 70's bias,
 despite being about soul from the 50's/60's to the present day.
