Mothership Connection
Mothership Connection is a funk album by Parliament, released in 1975. This concept album (see P Funk mythology) is usually rated as one of Parliament's best. Mothership Connection was the first P-funk album with Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, who had left The JB's, James Brown's backing band. In 2003 the TV network VH1 named Mothership Connection the 55th greatest album of all time.
