Funkadelic's eleventh studio LP, released in 1979, was more militant in tone than its predecessor 'One Nation Under A Groove' which described a Funk utopia. In contrast, 'Uncle Jam Wants You' stated mandate was to "rescue dance music from the blahs". The album features a 15-minute version of what was to become the Funkadelic's last hit single '(Not Just) Knee Deep', an edited version of which made no.1 in the US R&B chart. This was Funkadelic's first album since 1972 not to feature a cover design by artist Pedro Bell (although he did contribute the interior design). A reference to the "Uncle Sam Wants You!" US Army recruitment poster, the sleeve depicts George Clinton aka Dr Funkenstein in a Huey Newton Black Panthers pose. 'Uncle Jam Wants You' and Funkadelic-Parliament had a huge influence on Prince, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bill Laswell, Tupac Shakar, De La Soul and many more across all musical genres. George Clinton's genius Funk & Style will continue to be an influence for many more years to come... FUNKADELIC Masterminded by the larger-than-life figure of George Clinton, Funkadelic was a key component of his influential P-Funk empire. Funkadelic's unique combination of Rock, Psychedelia, R&B & Soul led to the band crossing over to the pop mainstream & gaining a vast international following, becoming one of the most important & influential groups in music.
