Mothership connected : the women of Parliament-Funkadelic / by Neblett, Seth,interviewer.;
"The iconic group known as Parliament-Funkadelic famously included a huge cast of players, including female backup singers Mallia Franklin, Debbie Wright, Shirley Hayden, and Jeannette Washington, and the "Brides of Dr. Funkenstein," Dawn Silva and Lynn Mabry, who also sang. Mallia Franklin's son, Seth Neblett, had been recording interviews with her for years until she passed away in 2010. The manuscript has since expanded into a full oral history of the women of P-Funk. There is insight as well as history and gossip, as when Sly Stone talks about encouraging Franklin to sing rock because she had the right "look" to appeal to white audiences. Later chapters cover P-Funk's revival through sampling"--
