Fuzzy Haskins, singer and original member of Parliament-Funkadelic and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has died at the age of 81
, “Prayer’s going out to Clarence ‘Fuzzys’ Haskins family & friends. We lost his frequency today 3-17- 23. He was an original Parliament/Funkadelic inducted in the RHOF.We will miss u my friend, bandmate & Soul brother! Thx u for ur guidance in my pup year’s. Bootsy baby!!!”
Haskins’ P-Funk tenure dates back to when he and Clinton were members of the Sixties vocal group the Parliaments, which — due to their record label folding — ultimately morphed into Funkadelic and Parliament. “Fuzzy wrote and co-wrote some of Funkadelic’s earliest classics, including ‘I Got A Thing’ and ‘I Wanna Know If It’s Good To You,'” Clinton’s“He was a good drummer as well, as he proved on ‘Can You Get To That,’ which he also co-wrote. Some of Fuzzy’s best vocals appeared on Funkadelic’s 1972 LP , most notably on ‘Ms Lucifers Love.’ But singing wasn’t the only thing that Fuzzy brought to P-Funk.
Haskins and his “berserker octave vocals” remained a full-time member of Funkadelic up through 1976’s. After releasing his own solo album, Haskins briefly rejoined P-Funk for their 1977 tour before departing the collective for good later that year. “By this time, he claimed he was through with singing all the ole dirty songs and began studying the Lord’s Word,” Clinton’s site notes.
