Good to Your Earhole

Funkadelic · 1975
Recording

Recorded in 1975 for the album Let's Take It to the Stage, the track featured the core Funkadelic lineup led by George Clinton, with major contributions from guitarist Michael Hampton, keyboardist Bernie Worrell and the wider P-Funk collective. The sessions captured the group's transition toward a tighter, groove-driven sound while retaining its psychedelic edge. Opening the album, the track served as a statement of intent for Funkadelic's renewed emphasis on funk after years of experimental rock explorations. Its aggressive groove, ensemble vocals and infectious energy helped define the emerging P-Funk aesthetic. The recording became a favorite among hip-hop producers and funk collectors, with its riffs and rhythms sampled in numerous later recordings. It remains one of the signature tracks from the mid-1970s P-Funk era and an enduring example of Funkadelic's influence on modern groove-based music.
