George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic Announce 2022 U.S. Tour

By Allison Hussey

George Clinton & Parliament -Funkadelic have announced a stretch of late spring and summer tour dates in the United States. Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, the Floozies, and the Motet are among those joining the band at different stops on the tour, which begins in mid-June and extends through August. See the full schedule below.

Clinton had previously announced that he was retiring from touring, claiming in 2018 that he’d go on a final trek the following year. More recently, Clinton and the band earned the honor of having a street named for them in Plainfield, New Jersey , where Clinton established the doo-wop group that eventually became Parliament-Funkadelic.

Wiz Khalifa is set to appear as Clinton in Spinning Gold , a forthcoming biopic about Casablanca Records head Neil Bogart. The label issued several of Parliament-Funkadelic’s records in the 1970s, including 1974’s Up for the Down Stroke and 1975’s Mothership Connection .

George clinton & parliament funkadelic announce 2022 tour dates.

Posted by Buddy Iahn | Mar 21, 2022

One Nation Under a Groove Tour runs this summer

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic is back with the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, with iconic frontman George Clinton still at the helm, and this time, he’s bringing his friends. New luminaries of the funk and jam world will support the tour, including The Motet, Dopapod, The Pimps of Joytime, as well as special guests on select shows Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, The Floozies, and others to be announced. Presale begins Wednesday, March 23rd with general on sale Friday, March 25th at noon ET via onenationunderagroovetour.com .

After announcing his retirement in 2018, the One Nation Under a Groove Tour in 2019 was thought to be Clinton’s farewell tour. Fans and admirers packed sold out amphitheaters across the country, proving the world is not ready for the P Funk Party to stop. Back by popular demand, the One Nation Under a Groove Tour will make stops across the country including New York’s iconic Summerstage in Central Park, and the new YouTube Theater in Inglewood, CA with more shows to be announced.

With a career spanning 50 years of pioneering music, breaking down cultural barriers, and blurring the lines between genres to the delight of his ever-growing fanbase, George Clinton continues his unstoppable march forward into the future of music. As so many generations of fans have come to realize, the Godfather of Funk is so much more than the artist who ‘blew the roof off the sucka’ with his blockbuster “Mothership tour” in the 1970’s – an event that still looms large in the minds of fans from that era. He is so much more than the man who discovered Bootsy Collins, produced a young bunch of dudes called The Red Hot Chilli Peppers before they were a thing, even more than just the man who’s music gave birth to so much of hip hop culture by way of his influence on Ice Cube, Snoop, Dr. Dre, and countless others who sampled his music over the years. Taken alone, any one of these would be a monumental accomplishment for most artists. But George was never satisfied with what happened yesterday, and 2015 saw George Clinton win a Grammy (finally) with Kendrick Lamar for the album “To Pimp a Butterfly.

In 1997, Clinton and 15 other members of P-Funk were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .

George Clinton Announces Parliament-Funkadelic 2022 US Tour Dates

The "One Nation Under a Groove Tour" resumes this spring and summer

Back by popular demand, George Clinton is bringing his iconic Parliament – Funkadelic ensemble on the road. The “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” will continue in Spring and Summer 2022, taking the longtime funk legend across the US.

With over 50 years in the game, Clinton announced his retirement from touring in 2018. He brought P-Funk on the first iteration of the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” the following year with the intent of it being a farewell tour of sorts; apparently, two years in a pandemic provided him with enough time to rest up and get back out there again.

This portion of the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” will begin in New York City on June 15th at Central Park’s Summerstage. After 17 shows, it will then finish in Napa, California on August 21st. The rotating cast of openers includes Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, The Motet, The Floozies, Soul Rebels, Fantastic Negrito, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Fishbone, and more.

Presale begins this Wednesday, March 23rd, with tickets available to the general public starting Friday, March 25th at 12:00 p.m. local time. Grab tickets over at Ticketmaster , and see the schedule below.

Back in 2018, Parliament released Medicaid Fraud Dogg , their first full-length album in nearly 40 years. Last year, it was announced that Wiz Khalifa would play Clinton in Spinning Gold , an upcoming biopic about Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart.

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic 2022 Tour Dates: 06/15 – New York, NY @ Summerstage Central Park * 06/18 – New Haven, CT @ College Street Music Hall * 06/19 – Worcester, MA @ The Palladium * 06/24 – Fort Wayne, IN @ Piere’s ^ 06/25 – Indianapolis, IN @ Clowes Memorial Hall 06/26 – Cincinnati, OH @ Riverfront Live # 06/30 – Asheville, NC @ Salvage Station $ 07/02 – Pelham, TN @ The Caverns $ 07/07 – Philadelphia, PA @ Fillmore ! 07/22 – Ft.

The funk legend George Clinton has come out of retirement to announce new “One Nation Under a Groove” US tour with band Parliament Funkadelic.

By Brooks Welch

The funk legend George Clinton has come out of retirement to announce new “One Nation Under a Groove” US tour with band Parliament Funkadelic.

Monday was an exciting day for P-Funk fans. The new summer tour was announced simultaneously with New Jersey honoring the icons with “Parliament Funkadelic Way,” five blocks of a street in Plainfield. The “Funkiest block on da planet” as Clinton wrote in his Instagram caption.

Although Clinton went on a farewell tour in 2019 after announcing his retirement the year prior, fans are digging his return.

“George Clinton has singlehandedly done more to push music forward than any other artist I can recall,” said Nick Szatmari of Universal Attractions Agency. “This tour represents that ‘big tent’ he’s created that includes so many generations.” (via Rolling Stone .)

The Godfather of Funk’s impact and lineage will be highlighted in the tour’s supporting bands Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, the Floozies, and the Motet.

In news related to George Clinton, Wiz Khalifa is set to appear as Clinton in ‘ Spinning Gold ,’ a forthcoming biopic about Casablanca Records head Neil Bogart. The label issued several of Parliament-Funkadelic’s records in the 1970s, including 1974’s Up for the Down Stroke and 1975’s Mothership Connection, Pitchfork reported in 2017.

See below for the 17 tour dates spanning from mid June to late August.

One Nation Under a Groove Tour Dates:

June 15 – New York, NY @ Summerstage @ Central Park June 18 – New Haven, CT @ College Street Music Hall June 19 – Worcester, MA @ The Palladium June 24 – Fort Wayne, IN @ Piere’s June 25- Indianapolis, IN @ Clowes Memorial Hall June 26 – Cincinnati, OH @ Riverfront Live June 30 – Asheville, NC @ Salvage Station July 2 – Pelham, TN @ The Caverns July 7 – Philadelphia, PA @ Fillmore July 22 – Ft.

Parliament-Funkadelic are a psychedelic funk collective lead by singer and songwriter George Clinton. Iterations of both groups have been performing since their formation in 1968, and have released 24 studio albums between them, making them massively influential to post-punk and post-disco groups, and the founding fathers of P-funk.

It’s strange to think that some of the most outrageously funky music of all time stems from a doo-wop band formed by a fifteen year old who worked in a barbershop in a town literally called “Plainfield”. Plainfield, New Jersey, United States to be precise, and I suppose it’s worth mentioning that the fifteen year old in question was an adolescent George Clinton. Taking their name from a brand of cigarettes that was popular at the time, Clinton began to form The Parliaments as a vocal quintet in 1956. By the time he’d finalised the line-up it was the early 1960’s, and the nascent band would rehearse at a barbershop that he partially owned to entertain their clients.

Once he’d formed the band it didn’t take long to get them off the ground, scoring a genuine hit single with their 1967 debut effort “(I Wanna) Testify”. The song was so good that Motown got in contact with Clinton and employed him as an in-house songwriter and producer. He was also trying to get The Parliaments on tour, assembling a five piece backing band for them in 1967, but he was also having more pressing problems with The Parliaments’ record label Revilot. During a contractual dispute with the label he lost the right to the name “The Parliaments”, but Clinton wasn’t going to let that stop him.

Taking the recently formed backing band, he christened them Funkadelic with the help of their bass player Billy Nelson and got them signed to Westbound Records in 1968. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, the band played a hard edged mix of guitar rock and funk, with the singers from The Parliament appearing on their records as uncredited “guests”. It was a genius move, and it could have been the answer for all ten men in Funkadelic and The Parliaments, but Clinton would get back the rights to The Parliaments’ name soon after Funkadelic were signed. Rather than scrap the more recent project, he decided to keep going with both of them, playing a smoother, R&B infused style of funk with the newly renamed Parliament.

Both projects released their debut albums in 1970, and since then both bands have continued releasing albums to this day with a large, revolving line-up of musicians. Even past members of the band have gone on to see great success in their own right, with their bassist Bootsy Collins going on to become a funk icon on the level of Clinton himself after his time in the band. They’ve gone on to influence everyone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the Wu-Tang Clan to Cee-Lo Green, and their self-styled P-Funk Mythology is one of the earliest widely popular forms of Afrofuturism on record. For making the music world at large a more colourful, fun and exciting place for everyone regardless of race, colour or creed, Parliament-Funkadelic come highly recommended.

Live reviews

Now if you’re talking about 70’s funk, you absolutely can not start the conversation without mentioning two groups, Earth, Wind and Fire and George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic.

Established in the late 60’s, the rainbow coloured dread culminated a group of over 50 musicians to create work under the names Parliament and Funkadelic. The Parliament side of things were rooted in the hippy, free era, dressed in costumes and heavily influenced by heavy weights James Brown and Rick James. The Funkadelic collective embraced the psychedelic culture and rock influences. The two worlds were able to collaborate and create an undeniable 70’s funk sound which we now know as Parliament Funkadelic.

A screaming electric guitar solo introduces their set at Le Trianon, Paris. The guitar screams across the auditorium as the fans raise their hands in surrender. A slightly unconventional way to start a gig but this long musical interlude stirs up the crowd for what’s bound to be a momentous evening.

George then struts on stage, dreadless! Instead he’s in a suit and tophat and just grooves on stage while the audience shows the band some love. The George Clinton set included ‘Flash Light’, ‘Crazy’ and ‘Give Up The Funk’ and with a combination of 2 promiscuous backing singers, a heavy rock and roll band and a trapezist dressed in cream fur, this was definitely a night to remember!

Report as inappropriate

I've not seen George Clinton live before and was thinking this would be either a legend who should have retired or brilliant. It was the latter.

The support of "DJ, Sip the Juice" had already got the audience in the mood when the band started with Starchild Mothership Connection which is now my favourite opening track for a concert. The rhythm section got into the groove and then the first of MANY singers walked/marched on to the beat with George looking smart in his suit to the spoken intro by the MC hidden at the back before launching into the song full on.

The beat did not stop for 2.5hrs!

Some of the newer stuff didn't float my boat but the beat kept your feet moving. About the only time I wasn't getting in the groove was for ""Maggot Brain". Hearing it on CD is one thing, to be there for a twin guitar epic is another (if you like your funk heavy!).

There was probably 10 people singing at one point or another including the Brides of Funkenstein. George either singing, dancing or conducting the crowd and/or band. And he was obviously loving it.

An amazing night and one to be remembered and returned to when he next returns to the UK.

The show was wonderful, full of funky music and energy. Two hours of pure funk! You'll get all your favorites, including "Flashlight", "Aqua Boogie", "One Nation Under A Grove", "(not just) Kneedeep", "Atomic Dog", "Mothership Connection" and "Maggot Brain".

Some of George's young proteges came out to do a couple of high energy rap/funk songs which left me a little confused, but the crowd was appreciative of the young folks' efforts. My one criticism is that the horns (trumpet and sax) were in the band, but weren't used on every song. Funk has heavy horn presence, so I don't understand why the horns weren't used on some of the key songs.

The band started saying goodbye, but then launched into "Atomic Dog". Most of the band did leave the stage and then reappeared for an encore of "Mothership Connection". Some people had started to leave and had to come back!

George is amazing for 70+ years old, but don't expect too much from him. He's more of the spiritual leader of P-Funk and that's enough.

Anytime you have the opportunity to see a living legend in concert, definitely take advantage.

We saw George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic on July 28 at the vintage Neptune Theater in Seattle's University District.

The show was many things: deafening loud, chaotic, the tiny stage crammed with people (we counted 19 at one point), and yet as a sum it was spectacular. There is nothing quite like a pfunk show. George Clinton was at center stage, the master leader of the moving parts. After a cacophonous opening with Alice in My Fantasies, they settled into a funk extravaganza. Blackbyrd McKnight’s Maggot Brain was a screeching masterpiece. Sir Nose managed acrobatics on the crowded stage. I loved the groove and simplicity of Flashlight. Crowd favorites were One Nation Under a Groove, Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)/Night of the Thumpasorus People, and Atomic Dog. As I watched, I pondered the long history of this band and members who have influenced it - the Parliament days. Bootsy and Bernie Worrell. The Jimi Hendrix influence. Eddie Hazel.

We returned home with ears ringing, a little bit stunned, and grateful for another chance to see this amazing band.

High energy but not the music you want. I don't know if age has taken the vocal abilities, but as an ardent fan of p funk in its many forms, this show was a huge disappointment. George Clinton was little more than a hype man, telling you to put your hands up every few seconds that is if he wasn't sitting down watching everyone else perform. Which he did often. I get it, he is of an advanced age and with medical issues, but bb king day the entire time and our on a hell of a show at 80, Willie Nelson a few weeks ago does not have the vocal chops he once did but he played through his home catalog. This show was 4 songs I knew. Then a bunch of new acts doing their material. I know they call them parliament but they are not the names you know. They don't play the songs you know. Even when they do George Clinton isn't singing them. Credit to the band they play hard, and work hard but it's not what you expect.

Absolute disgrace and huge disappointment in this show. Those "special guests" mentioned on a ticket were some drug dealers/modern rappers who were doing some horrible niggah rap shouting such words as: rock this shit! rock this shit nigger! At the beginning we thought maybe it's another warm up band, but apparently NO, they were all the show... George Clinton was barely even singing all the show. Some fucking backsinger was twerking on a stage! Are you for real? My girlfriend is a huge fan of this band and was shockingly disappointed of what happened. We left the concert not seeing even half of concert like many others.

As usual it was a great show. it seemed to me that everybody on stage was in a great mood, lots of smiling and joking, and energy. the newer younger members of the band really added to he energy of the show. the three female back up singers owned their own stars in the show. blackbird ripped it up, and george, it's so hard to believe that he is 76 years old. his love for funk is not about age, it about the feeling, the mood and he was all in it. they really know how to bond with a crowd. no fights, no arrests, just a funkin party.

It was a blast. I always love to see Funkadelic when they come around. They put on a great show everytime! Goerge Clinton is an amazing character, he is still very good at entertaining people. I love the mothership! "Mother Earth is pregnant for the 3rd time" ! & He did Maggot Brain which is an amazing song. I really loved his openers, Gorangatang...a hip hop full band wth didgeridoo...was a very interesting act!

Unbelievable concert. George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars throw the fu(n)k down. The atmosphere was electric and me and all my friends, some of whom don;t even listen to funk had a fantastic time. George Clinton is one of the best performers I've ever seen, and him and his posse sure know how to have a good time. Shit, goddamn, get off your ass and jam!

Well, it was great to see George up there in all his finery! The Friday night show in Seattle did not seem to be rehearsed.... It did not appear there had been a sound check, either. The night was basically a wall of sound with no air holes. Loved to hear the old favorite songs, but Maggot Brain stole the show for me. Well played, Blackbyrd!

George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic at Kentish Town Forum.

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic review – fabulous fusions on farewell tour

Kentish Town Forum, London At 81, Clinton occasionally needs to sit down, but his band more than carry him with musicianship that straddles acid-rock, jazz and more

K een-eyed observers will note that this is not George Clinton’s first farewell tour: he was supposed to quit the road in 2018, which, at the time, he said was “part of a plan” he had conceived several years previously. Said plan has clearly been redrawn. A few weeks shy of his 81st birthday, Clinton is on the stage again, clad in sequinned trousers, a sailor’s hat with a huge eye on it and something that looks like an ancient Egyptian collar made out of holographic material – an outfit that may well constitute George Clinton’s idea of dressing down in a manner befitting his advanced years.

His role in live shows has diminished over time, although it’s still more than you suspect your average octogenarian could muster: when he’s not adding vocal interjections, dancing or beckoning for more applause, he retreats to a seat at the rear of the stage.

Gleefully overstuffed … George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic.

You could never accuse the current incarnation of Parliament-Funkadelic of not compensating. The band is still as gleefully overstaffed as at their 1970s height – at points there are eight vocalists performing at once – and Clinton presides over a kind of barely-controlled chaos: musicians wander on and off stage, swapping instruments and roles. At one point, a singer reappears both wielding a guitar and stripped to his underpants. They sound fantastic, fusing together what are effectively Parliament-Funkadelic’s greatest hits – Up for the Down Stroke, One Nation Under a Groove, Flashlight – into sprawling medleys that devolve into lengthy jams.

These underline what a broad musical universe Clinton’s brand of funk was. Michael Hampton, who was a 17-year-old prodigy, Kidd Funkadelic, when he first joined Clinton in 1975, delivers stinging acid-rock guitar solos. Greg Thomas’s sax and Greg Boyer’s trombone are audibly informed by jazz – during one solo Boyer quotes from John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, and during a lengthy (Not Just) Knee Deep, Thomas leads the audience in a scat-singing call-and-response derived from Cab Calloway.

As always in the P-Funk universe, the sublime happily co-exists with the ridiculous, both on stage and in the audience, where a gentleman who looks like he could conceivably be a bank manager sports a homemade T-shirt bearing the title of Funkadelic’s 1975 song No Head, No Backstage Pass. From his back seat, Clinton wears a broad grin: a patriarch of misrule to the end.

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic are on tour in the UK until 28 May.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Godfather of Funk George Clinton returns to his Newark roots with an upcoming 80th Birthday Bash NJPAC Concert on March 18

George Clinton at the Newport Jazz Festival in 2018

George Clinton , considered by many as the "Godfather of Funk" behind Parliament and Funkadelic, is a member of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, musician, singer, songwriter, bandleader, record producer and now a visual artist.

Clinton joined WBGO Journal host and News Director Doug Doyle to talk about his upcoming 80th Birthday Bash Celebration Concert at NJPAC in Newark on March 18.

George Clinton who lives in Tallahassee, Florida joined WBGO Journal host Doug Doyle for a Zoom chat

The music legend was born in North Carolina but grew up in Newark.

"I started Parliament in the sixth grade at the Avon Avenue School. We used to practice in the boy's playground. Back then there was a boy's playground and a girl's playground on each side of the building. I used to dream about Parliament being famous. Frankie Lymon was the hit of that year when we started it and everybody had a group on every corner in Newark, Jersey City, New York, Brooklyn. Doo Wop was it."

Clinton also recalled his days working at a Hula Hoop factory in Newark.

"When the hula hoop first came out on the East Coast they came to Newark. We helped them unload the equipment, my little street gang, 15-year olds running around in Newark. We helped them hire people and we did it so good, we got the little kids eight, nine and ten who had all the energy cause you had to bend a long strip of plastic into a circle and have a cork in between and the old man would staple it. We got the kids who had fun doing that and paid them a few dollars a week. We helped them pack them up and send them to Frankfurt, Germany. When the fad was over, we had hula hoops everywhere."

A few years before that, The "Godfather of Funk", just 12 years old at the time, would run into another music legend.

"I delivered milk to Sarah Vaughan on Avon Avenue, I was on the milk truck taking up bottles upstairs. I didn't know who she was. I remember the drive told us this is the song and then as you got older wow that's who that was!"

Clinton says he also worked at Essex Records when he was a teen.

George Clinton returns to the city he grew up in to perform at NJPAC on March 18

Returning to Newark will be very special for Clinton. He now lives in Tallahassee, Florida. He had hoped to have the celebration concert at NJPAC a year ago, but the coronavirus pandemic put those plans on hold. He'll be joined by Quest Love, Vernon Reid and Nona Hendryx on March 18 at 8pm. Clinton is thrilled to have this incredible lineup on stage with him. He has plenty in common with Quest Love.

"He's one of those young ones that could analyze us and had all the history His dad was one of the famous doo-woppers, so we talked about that. Nona Hendryx, I used to do her hair before they were Labelle, they were Patti LaBelle & The Blue Belles. I used to do Patti and Nona's hair. That's a necessity back in our day. We did each others hair, straighten it and wave it."

Clinton was so good as a hair stylist, he worked at three shops in Newark and then in 1960 he started working at a shop Plainfield.

'I took the 49 bus every morning to Plainfield. I was the only barber that knew how to do hair like there out there. Parliament was still a singing group, so we would actually have to go practice Plainfield or Newark."

With that long history in both Newark and Plainfield, Clinton will be recognized in both cities the day before the NJPAC Concert. The music icon, who donated music equipment to Avon Avenue School, will have a music room there dedicated in his honor on March 17. That same day a street naming dedication will happen in Plainfield.

George Clinton is known as the Godfather of Funk

The half-time show of this year's Super Bowl in Los Angeles that featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Eminem and Mary J. Blige was also a moment of great joy for George Clinton. He has worked on the G-Funk sound with all of those performers except 50 Cent.

"When I looked up there and saw that stage I was proud. Not only did they sample but I literally worked with Dre on Tupac's records, on Snoop's records. I was so proud to see them all up there doing the business side the way they do, not only success with records."

Clinton says of all the awards he received during his more than five decade career, it was the Hip-Hop award he received in 1999 that has meant the most to him.

The creative innovator took advantage of the down time during the pandemic to refresh and develop his new found love of painting on canvases.

"I've been doing it for a few years. Having people around like Pedro Bell who did P-Funk album covers, one thing about Funk, if you're funking your going to have some style. So with the costumes, the props, the Mothership, I got into visual artist just by doodling autographs, drawing an Automatic Dog. When this pandemic thing jumped off, I had a chance to really do it. I sold one for 20-thousand dollars so I went out and bought every canvas I could find."

George Clinton Details Final Tour With Parliament-Funkadelic

By Kory Grow

After five decades of life on tour buses and Motherships, George Clinton is ready to retire from the road. The U.S. dates of his long goodbye, which he’s dubbed the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, will kick off this spring and run through August.

“It’s coming right on time,” Clinton tells Rolling Stone , saying the announcement is part of a plan he conceived a few years ago. It’s the next step after releasing his 2014 memoir, Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard On You? as well as Funkadelic ‘s 2014 album, First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate and Parliament ‘s 2018 album, Medicaid Fraud Dogg .

“I would love to keep on doing this but I’ll be 78 in a few more months,” he says. “Even though I feel like I’m just getting started, the reality is the group needs to go ahead and keep it going. We’ve got a new vibe in the band, and they’ve been carrying it for the last three years. I’ve been up there representing for people, but they’ve actually been turning the place out. And we’ve been selling out for the last five years, every night.”

The tour, which officially kicks off after Memorial Day weekend (though Clinton is playing some farewell tour dates beforehand), will variously feature openers Galactic, Dumpstaphunk, Fishbone and Miss Velvet and the Blue Wolf. Tickets for most shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Pre-sales will start on February 7th; more information is available at Clinton’s website .

The Parliament-Funkadelic band features several musicians who have been in the lineup for the last decade, as well as a handful — trumpeter Bennie Cowan, saxophonist Greg Thomas, bassist Lige Curry and guitarist Blackbird McKnight — who have been with the group for 30 years or longer. It also features many of Clinton’s descendants.

The tour’s title recalls both the 1978 album, One Nation Under a Groove , and blockbuster single of the same name. Clinton says the song’s message of unity is just as important today as it was when he wrote it. “Funk to me was just that groove that united everything,” he says. “So you could be funky no matter what kind of music you played. There’s a funk element somewhere that can be put into it. And the idea of one nation with everybody together [applies to] not only one nation, but one planet.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

The tour, created by Universal Attractions Agency, coincides with Clinton receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys at a special ceremony on May 11th. It’s an honor that means a lot to him, since it’s a chance for him to recognize the dozens of P-Funk musicians who’ve played with him over the years. “It’s never been about me or no particular thing,” Clinton says. “The whole truth has always been what it’s about. As I’m getting ready to get a lifetime achievement award and all of that, there’s so many people that’s been in the band, it’s hard to even pick who all the people are. So people won’t get to see a lot of people, but still that award will belong to everybody that’s participated in making the P-Funk what it is. It will be for all the people that’s ever been through the P-Funk army.”

The Forever Flight of the Mothership

George Clinton has been toying with retirement for years now. But at 81, he appears as energized as he has in eons. Will the funk ever stop?

“Crazy is a prerequisite to make it in this business,” George Clinton growls, a wad of rolling papers curling between his fingertips. “A prerequisite. But you have to govern that crazy, you have to be in charge of the crazy. Don’t do it just ’cause it works. You got to know when I ain’t that crazy.”

The high priest of funk is sermonizing from behind a desk in his eminently glossy suite at the Park Hyatt in midtown Manhattan. The floor-to-ceiling windows import golden rays. Clinton bobs faintly, left to right, fiddling his hands with purpose, chin pointing to the floor. His head is shaved, his goatee is dyed black, and his voice is gruff.

Clinton, who is 81 years old, often punctuates a lesson with laughter. He’s prone to name-dropping: “Eminem, I’ve known him since 14, 15 years old,” or “Mos Def, I knew his parents,” or “Tupac and Digital Underground, we was already like that,” or “Prince, he was a baby Funk-eteer.” Sitting in a bright blue T-shirt bearing a comic-book seal with the names of his two transcendent bands—Parliament and Funkadelic—emblazoned at the midsection, Clinton presents as an apparition of sorts. The picture’s quite literally not believable.

The guy known for shaving outlines of dicks in his hair, performing sometimes in the nude, embedding Afrofuturism into the mainstream, and reshaping American music holds court from an angular office chair while his wife, Carlon, supplies him with his daily allotment of imported spring water. It’s not unreasonable to say he’s one of the five or 10 most impactful acts breathing, in or outside of the country. One does not imagine he sends his own emails, let alone rolls his own joints. Clinton knows the length of the shadow he casts—he even enjoys kicking at it sometimes—but he generally tends to sidestep the problem of his mythos. This is less a result of PR savvy (which he has in bundles) than it is adherence to an I-can’t-keep-whooping-on-everyone-if-I-look-back-at-each-swing kind of creed.

“That Godfather of Funk or whatever,” Clinton says, eyes wandering to a tray of room-service veggies nearby. “I tell myself that shit in the bathroom. So when I finish patting myself on the back, I flush the toilet and leave that shit in there.”

Pre-pandemic, Clinton appeared to be at the precipice of retirement. In April 2018, he penned a statement formally announcing his plans to step back from touring. A few weeks later, accompanied by the most recent variation of Funkadelic, Clinton played a handful of former haunts—Howard Theatre in D.C., the Crystal Ballroom in Portland—for what was billed as the final time. While still equipped with the flair that defined the performances of his youth, he was clearly limited in mobility. He had to take breaks between songs. A stool was present on-stage alongside his mic stand. In his prime Clinton moved like a rockstar, in and away from the limelight. He played in different cities every evening, maintaining a regular diet of cartilage-crunching leaps and daring wire-descents from arena rafters. Self-admittedly, in the later decades of his career Clinton was addicted to crack. (He quit the drug in the early 2000s.) Given the toll his body had long endured and his advancing age, stepping away seemed rational, prudent even.

“I really was trying to be 80 years old,” Clinton swears. “Then I realized, ‘No, what you gonna do when you do quit?’”

So he didn’t—at least not yet. As we speak in June, he’s in New York to kick off what may or may not be the real, final run: the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, which would go through late September. Then he’s done. For good. He’s not walking through that door. Until, of course, he is. Which, you know, he might. “Oh, I’ll probably come back in a year,” Clinton cackles. “Still got the vibe.”

This capacity for mental contortion is what’s at least in part responsible for taking him from odd jobs and a barbershop gig in postwar Plainfield, New Jersey, to Berry Gordy’s Detroit and a one-way ticket through musical deep space. Clinton’s go-to origin story involves reaching sonic enlightenment the first time he heard Hendrix take “noise to church,” but that skips about three steps and is half as interesting as the truth. His mother listened to swing records from Louis Jordan and adored Sam Cooke during the crooner’s early era with the Soul Stirrers. In Clinton’s teens and early 20s he worshipped at the altar of doo-wop, incubating as a songwriter for Motown Records. He picked up a knack for clichés, puns, and hooks, and scored a top-10 hit with the first incarnation of the group—known then as “The Parliaments”—featuring Clinton, Raymond Davis, Calvin Simon, Clarence Haskins, and Grady Thomas.

Clinton says his biggest fear at the time was the prospect of becoming “an old washed-up doo-wop group.” He confronted this phobia by veering to other planets, political frameworks, planes of reality. Partly in response to record-deal chicanery, and partly because it simply sounded groovier, “The Parliaments” became “Funkadelic.” (They would reclaim “Parliament” a few years later, performing and recording separately under both names.) Clinton and Co. toured with Vanilla Fudge and the Boxtops; got heavy into Cream, Richie Havens, and, indeed, Hendrix; and were thoroughly changed by the cultural big bang of the late 1960s. He nurtured two distinct styles for the bands: Parliament was “a more vocal, stage-oriented funk-opera” while Funkadelic was “a musical balance of freedom and control.” Album to album, Clinton developed a stable of characters, themes, and settings for the groups—intergalactic freedom fighters, rhythm-less villains, and Black utopias. The cover art was always hella freaky. The end product, music-wise, melded early funk, psychedelia, rhythm and blues, rock, jazz, gospel, and soul, all while blurring the constructs of comedy, horniness, profundity, spirituality, structure, and strangeness.

“He picks up on everything, you know?” says trumpeter Fred Wesley, a vital member of both Parliament and James Brown’s touring band. “Whatever’s happening in the street, he grasps onto it and can make a record out of it. Sometimes it’ll be mysterious, sometimes it’ll be obvious. ... [He’s] someone who listens to the audience and gives back to the audience the way the audience gives to him.”

The collaborative nature of this arc is often underplayed in the public mind in favor of crude hero worship—something Clinton is tangibly averse to. He’s not so much humble up close as he is in thrall to the art form. His is an almost spiritual pursuit: nirvana in the quest for tones. His method? “I’m a director,” Clinton says. “I can get it out of people—even what they don’t know they got.”

It’s no coincidence, in his eyes, that his groups’ cherished export, P-Funk, became hip-hop’s foundational sound (alongside James Brown’s percussive gusto). It’s no accident that it continues to find new hosts, in artists ranging from the Sugar Hill Gang to Public Enemy, Dr. Dre, Too Short, Outkast, Kendrick Lamar, and, most recently, Donald Glover. For Clinton, funk is the connective tissue: of music, of Black American artistry, of life itself. It’s a state of mind. But also everywhere. And maybe, something to aspire to. “You’ve seen people on the drum, just make a groove in Africa, just a beat. When you see those little kids dancing to those African beats, you can see that’s the root of all this shit,” Clinton says in a timbre thick as smoke. “Then you can see slick-ass motherfuckers, like jazz musicians. They can get funky as all hell. They know the back-and-forth, so when they hang loose and just funk around and just jam, they being funky.”

He’s craning his neck and lilting his eyebrows and scanning the suite. Clinton buzzes in the silence of what he deems to be a well-imparted point. Then he flashes both canines and says: “Funk is anything you need it to be.”

Carlon, a small, kind, mocha-brown woman, who’d been sprawled on a nearby loveseat, ventures to and from the room in cycles. Showtime, at Central Park’s Summerstage, is in less than three hours. Clinton has no set list. Sometimes he might identify an opening track beforehand, but that depends on what he can glean backstage from the audience. He is as deeply in love with the art of performance—its sweet symmetry of comfort and chaos—as he has ever been. “On stage we can work it. We rule shit on stage. And if I ain’t able to do that, it might be a problem. You know?” Clinton says, peering out at the vacant sofa. “So that’s why even doing all the drugs, no, that ain’t got a chance of stopping me. I mean, I knew I wasn’t supposed to be doing that all that time, and for that long. I’m an old ass man still doing that. But I knew, OK, as long as I’m doing music, I’ll outlast this. Whatever the bullshit is.”

She’s got the papers and his phone, plus his joints. Carlon says he’ll have to take the show on the road. He laces up his shoes—high-tops, all vegan leather, pink bottoms, gold fern accents along the side—while the front door creaks open. A friend named Vivian drifts in.

“G,” she greets Clinton, “I didn’t get my hug today.”

Her arms are open and her blond braids cascade past her shoulders.

“Hey, baby,” Clinton purrs, mid-embrace.

“He brought this all the way from Tallahassee,” Carlon says, passing a wide acrylic portrait to Vivian. “He said, ‘I want her to have this one.’”

In Clinton’s free time, he paints habitually. There was a period, somewhere in the dog days of lockdown, when he bought their entire hometown out of canvases. When there were no more to buy, he decorated birdhouses instead. The painting is littered with clefs—treble, bass, tenor—and daubs of orange and white. For years Clinton entrusted the Afrofuturist artist Pedro Bell with illustrating the album covers for Funkadelic records. (Bell also wrote the liner notes that helped establish the band’s legend.) The creations often blended the hypersexual and the science fictional. Clinton’s own visual work is less mind-bending but clearly cut from the same cloth. It’s a bit Basquiat-ish in nature, if Basquiat ran a music symposium.

“Is it this way?” Vivian asks, tilting the sketch and canting her head. Clinton, facing the entryway, fits a blue see-through veil over his shoulders, and puts a sailor cap with the pearly outline of an eye atop his dome. He walks toward the door. Spotting his reflection in a full-length mirror, he lingers and says, in a deeply guttural tone, “That’s psychedelic.” Then he exits the suite and heads to the elevator.

This time last year, Clinton hosted a private party for his friends and family in celebration of his 80th birthday. His 81st is in late July and he’s openly bracing for it to arrive.

“Eighty-one,” he says, to no one in particular in the corridor.

“I’m going to be married to an 81-year-old,” Carlon responds.

“An old motherfucker ,” Clinton says, having come to a complete stop.

“I can’t keep up with him,” Carlon says, and the doors to the lift open.

From the upper lobby of the Hyatt a second elevator transports patrons to the ground floor. Strutting past the concierge, Clinton resembles a tropical bird, and receives a comparable reception: Eyes throughout the hall wander to the Black man donning a pellucid gown. At elevator no. 2, a middle-aged white couple in jeans and matching T-shirts enter after Clinton. They’re staring off and on; it’s unclear whether they recognize him or are merely thrown off by the maestro’s getup.

“George,” says Vivian, “do you remember my first P-Funk show? Radio City Music Hall. Frankie Crocker was the promoter.”

“Ohio Players,” George answers.

“Ohio Players,” repeats Vivian.

“And Larry Graham,” George adds.

“And Larry Graham,” repeats Vivian.

This was in 1975. Clinton’s concerts appeared at the time as collages of social phenomena. Battles, raves, alien abductions, church sermons—you never knew for sure what you’d paid for until you got there. In ’76 the collective’s prop of choice was an exhaust-belching, boat-sized UFO called the mothership (a reference to their hit album), which now resides in the National Museum of African American History and Culture; two years later it was a human-sized flashlight (another reference to another hit), the location of which is currently unknown. Clinton accented himself with sultan’s robes, silver capes, ermine coats, antlers, headdresses, platform boots, linen sheets defaced by crayons, and long johns with holes where they ought not to have been. He always stirred the pot.

“And you were … ” Vivian continues, her voice peaking in the corner of the elevator.

“... I was in a casket,” George says in a low hum.

“You were in a casket!” Vivian howls. “With a fencing mask on and a sheet with no drawers on! Imma tell the truth.”

The tourists’ eyes are facing downward. Their cheeks are flushed bright red.

George Clinton At The 1993 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

Clinton’s sweet chariot for the evening is a dirty blond Mercedes sprinter, and it’s parked in a bus lane on West 57th street, and steered by his longtime driver, Mark. Having shimmied into the vehicle, the composer sits directly behind the chauffeur, a joint and lighter in hand. He expels a regular stream of smoke. With his outfit, he exudes the air of royalty. The windows are tinted.

Though Clinton is not averse to fanfare, he has little interest in how the world perceives him so long as that perception does not interfere with his art. His career has been littered with financial and contractual pitfalls, most of which were highly public. At the height of P-Funk’s supernova, Clinton had a multimillion-dollar deal to run his own label via CBS and, separately, oversaw a stable of offshoot groups—Parlet, the Brides of Funkenstein, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, Zapp. Within a decade he found himself in seven-figure IRS debt and evicted from his home. Though they’re conspicuously outnumbered by the P-Funk alumni who revere him and remain in his orbit, some bandmates have criticized Clinton’s compensation patterns—or lack thereof—over the years. “[George] is a gifted and talented writer, producer and performer who moves in monumental leaps and bounds,” collaborator Roger Troutman once told the Detroit Free Press . “All those things make not a businessman. … Officially, we had a difference of compensation.” (Clinton later won $250,000 in a lawsuit against Warner Bros. for releasing Troutman’s debut The Many Facets of Roger , when it should have been put out under Clinton’s own Uncle Jam label.) For his part, Clinton says he laid unfair expectations for some of his bandmates: He believes he was too giving with assigning credit. “Because I couldn’t pay them all that I thought they was worth, I tried to make them producers and writers just because they came up with the beat. That wasn’t the way it was done,” he says. “You pay for arrangements and if you wrote the song, you wrote the song. But I didn’t look at it like that. … That was something I think I spoiled people with in the beginning. If they’d have learned what it was and then got it later, they would have appreciated it.”

Since the mid-’80s he’s been locked in a standoff with Bridgeport Music Inc., one of the group’s old publishers. For years Clinton has said that Bridgeport forged a number of documents transferring copyright ownership of multiple albums from him to the company. Given the frequency with which P-Funk has been sampled in hip-hop and R&B, Clinton likely lost out on millions, as did the rest of his bandmates. While he’s lost several lawsuits over the years attempting to reclaim his music from the company, he won a defamation suit filed by Bridgeport owner Armen Boladian in 2021 after Clinton detailed these allegations in his autobiography. In recent years, he’s recovered the rights to Funkadelic’s four albums with Warner Bros. ( Hardcore Jollies , Uncle Jam Wants You , The Electric Spanking of War Babies , and their highest seller, One Nation Under a Groove ) but that’s about it: none of the Parliament records, none of the early-era Funkadelic joints, not even his first couple of solo releases. Clinton says he’s considering pulling a Taylor Swift and rerecording his masters. He’s also partnering with civil rights attorney Ben Crump in what he claims is not only a push to regain his own music rights, but to address decades of exploitation against legacy Black artists.

In what even he would admit is an upset, Clinton has managed to outlive most of his peers and even parts of the generation that followed him. He’s keenly aware of the life cycle of a musician, but when it comes to the thought of his legacy, Clinton’s practically repulsed.

“Oh, I don’t give a fuck about that,” he says.

“No, baby,” Carlon says, “tell them you want to be known as the guy that talked about copyright.”

Clinton nods his head, dutifully. He straightens his body. “If it’s going to be something that’s remembered,” he says, “let that be it.”

The car glides among Central Park’s dips and curves. The interior is hazy with smoke. Clinton leans fully back in his seat, eyes wide open, vision fixed to the roof. He exhales deeply.

“That’ll clean up for a lot of shit,” he says, joking but also not.

George Clinton, Chuck D, and Flavor Flav Portrait Session 1989

On a hummock near Strawberry Fields , cordoned off from the general public, Uncle Jam slides open the passenger-side door of the van and lets the scents of summer mingle. He’s saddled up next to a grill. It’s where his ride is parked. Hot 97 vet Funkmaster Flex, the DJ for the evening’s affairs, wedges himself between the vehicle and a concrete barrier adjoining the griddle. He extends his hand to Clinton.

“How are you, my brother?” Flex asks, all teeth and decibels. “Everything good?”

“Oh man, you got it,” Clinton says. “Still hanging, bro.”

“We got no choice man,” Flex says. “Ain’t ready to give it up.”

“Ain’t going to give it up,” Clinton adds.

Having bantered in the haze of humidity, the two part ways, and Clinton tries to close his eyes for a moment. He’s thwarted often. At least four Funkadelic members arrive and greet Clinton, mid-slumber, from his mobile throne. The last is one of his protégés, the singer Kendra Foster, of D’Angelo & the Vanguard fame .

“Look at you. Sitting there looking cool as a cucumber,” Foster says to Clinton. She passes him a plate of barbeque. “How are you? Hey now, Papa.”

Clinton shifts upward in his seat.

“Papa,” Foster says, “You look good.”

“Come on now,” Clinton says. “You just saying that. Some lady said it the other day, she’s like, ‘No, no you don’t understand, you look good.’”

It’s not exactly untrue. By physical appearance alone you would not guess he is a day over 70. His face is notably devoid of wrinkles, as are his hands. He’s trimmed his figure considerably from even a few years ago. Clinton stays active by swimming on his property in Tallahassee and fishing off the coast. He doesn’t have a boat, but he makes his way when he needs to. “ I usually rent one,” says Clinton. “Then they take us out 10 miles off the shore and we catch mahi-mahi, wahoo. Then we do marlin.”

The sound of the opening act echoes back through the bowels of the stage. Carlon hands Clinton a couple of hats; he shuffles through them, carefully identifying the proper accoutrement for tonight’s performance. In a flash, Clinton rises from his seat, slides his door open, and walks with his wife to his dressing room. The maestro has clocked in; George is now gone. Cloaked in the sudden silence of Clinton’s wake, Vivian stands in front of the van, facing his path. “He once said to me,” she remembers, “that retiring was harder than quitting crack.” Then she shakes her head and smirks.

Backstage, a reunion is in full swing—sons, daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, half-siblings, friends, acquaintances, hangers-on. Michael Hampton—who was practically raised in Funkadelic and has played guitar for the band since ’74—wears a navy bandanna and a whole lot of denim, and says he will support Clinton for as long as he’d like to play. After all, that’s what the blues legends did before them. “They played,” Hampton says, “until they had to sit down and play.” To Hampton’s right, the group’s longtime bassist Lige Curry takes his hands out of an army green jacket, and says that he was fully convinced to tag along the moment Clinton uttered the words, “This will be good for me.”

Dr. Funkenstein, by the way, is in a shipping container. Other contents include: a bottle of yellow gatorade, a red backpack with a drawstring around the opening, more weed, used red plastic cups, some half-empty Heineken bottles, and a slick Persian rug. The crate is a tricked-out dressing room. Bright green on the outside; two floors high. Its windows are various jutting geometric shapes. Inside, Clinton is as close as he’ll ever get to planning out the show.

He’s leaning toward opening with “Cosmic Slop,” a five-and-a-half-minute negro spirtual about sex work. Clinton is stretched out on a sofa that’s speckled gray and barely fits two people. He’s thinking about James Brown. (He tends not to look back but when he does there’s gold along the trail.) “He didn’t have to say shit,” Clinton says. “He just said what he said and it makes sense from there. If it don’t make sense, it works out. It’s that rhythm of Blackness, grunts and groans. There’s a language in there. Church, it’s the same thing.”

He shoos away a few would-be visitors with nothing but a lean and a glance. Don’t get him started on Miles. “Bad motherfucker,” Clinton says. “Probably one of the couple of mothers that can claim cool.”

One of the couple. You know them when you see them. And Clinton’s moved among the gods. Aretha. Marvin. Marley. He speaks their language. It’s this knowledge that undergirds all of his movements, the ones on stage, the ones in the dark, and the ones that show up only on tape: The guy’s way out there. Light-years past where the search becomes anything other than indefinite.

So when he calls Miles Davis “one of the couple of mothers that can claim cool,” or says that James Brown “didn’t have to say shit,” Clinton’s telling the truth, about Miles, and James, and—most of all—himself. Because there’s only but a “couple” of those “mothers” that have ever been made, and he conversed with them on the holy plain. Touched the face of god.

And after that nothing less will ever do.

Greetings to the granddaughter with the pastel T-shirt; love to the grandson with the rainbow dreads; a smile for the white man in a pair of scuffed Adidas; half a hug for the wavy-haired sister in all white; slight dap for the brother with the “just a kid from Newark” tee; a pose with a mean mug for all who can see. Clinton moves to a seat and he smokes and he waves. Less than a minute to showtime. The crowd is pulsing and the band is primed. Enough with the pleasantries, let’s take it to the stage.

Buzzing like a loopy wasp, arms swinging, knees flailing, Clinton bursts into the crowd’s view. He’s met by a booming inhale followed by an even larger exhale, the collective voice of a little screaming nation (under a groove) in the middle of Central Park. Clinton opts for a funked-up version of “Jump Around” as an opener. Call it recycling; finding the through lines. House of Pain samples Funkadelic, so Clinton funks House of Pain. Waving the mic to and from the crowd, he directs a call-and-response that goes “Shit goddamn get off your ass and jam,” until the track recedes and the show starts in full. Clinton extends his arms and the opening notes of “Cosmic Slop” finally rain out.

He steps back from the mic and simply bobs his head. The chorus bellows—“I can hear my mother call / I can hear my mother call”—and the guitars weep ungently. Clinton directs each section of the band with hand signals and head nods. He shifts exclusively between an expression of steady focus and a wry smirk.

The song teeters: heavy to lively. He blows out a kiss. Three horns kick in at once and by the time the audience has processed the sheer euphoria of this sound—the way it summons the heartbeat of the track and the body—Clinton is pointing straight to the brass section like he just dropped another precious point to ponder. His limbs are held wide enough to hug the crowd itself. Clinton prances through the twilight frenzied by the very joy reflected to him. There is chaos and there is comfort. Then, without a word, the high priest returns to his sermon. He appears reborn.

“Somebody once asked him, ‘A lot of people have said they would die on the stage. Would you consider that?’” Carlon confessed before her husband lit the stage ablaze. “George was like, ‘At least I’d go out funking.’”

Only one side of her mouth curled to a smile.

“So, no,” she said, baring the hunger that orbits and propels Clinton— his final act of absurd and tender devotion to the faith.

“I don’t think he’ll ever retire.”

Live updates, ultra-trendy midwifery company backed by chelsea clinton is sued after baby is born with brain damage.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It’s a multi-million dollar start-up backed by Chelsea Clinton and Glamour magazine which claims to be “redesigning” how women give birth.

Oula operates from two clinics designed to look like interiors associated with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand, where it offers midwife-led care which it says dramatically cuts the rates of Cesarean sections and premature births.

Its star-studded events have featured CBS News anchor Gayle King, ballerina Misty Copeland and Seagram’s heiress Hannah Bronfman, while its polished social media includes motivational quotes for “ birthing people .”

But now the health company has been hit by a lawsuit which claims its negligence led to a baby being born badly brain damaged.

The baby’s parents allege Oula’s midwives were “reckless” and failed to get obstetricians to act fast enough to deliver their baby boy by C-section last year.

The Brooklyn mother and father, who The Post is keeping anonymous, say that the midwives as well as doctors and nurses at Mount Sinai West, where Oula’s babies are delivered, used “contraindicated procedures” on the mother and baby.

The infant went into “fetal distress” when the birth was delayed and suffered hypoxic brain damage, the lawsuit says. Hypoxic brain damage occurs when there is not enough oxygen going to the brain.

Oula has not yet filed a response to the lawsuit, which was filed in Brooklyn State Supreme Court.

“Our hearts go out to any family suffering during what should be a joyful moment in their lives,” a spokeswoman for Oula told The Post.

“We honor healthcare privacy and can’t comment on this claim. We started Oula out of a deep commitment to support families during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood and we continue to operate with this commitment.”

Oula is one of a number of start-ups aiming to cash in on a potentially lucrative change in the Affordable Care Act which ordered insurers to pay for midwife-led care for pregnant women.

The change was prompted by concern that mothers in the US have exceptionally high rates of birth by C-section and that maternal mortality rates are too high.

More than 32 percent of live births in the US were cesarian deliveries in 2022, according to the March of Dimes.

This is more than double what the World Health Organization deems ideal for cesarian births — at 10 percent to 15 percent.

In England, where midwives typically accompany women throughout pregnancy and birth, 15.5 percent of live births were delivered by elective C-section, while 19 percent were emergency cesarian deliveries, according to statistics from the National Health Service.

Maternal mortality rates in the US are among the highest in the developed world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 32.9 deaths per 100,000 births in 2021, its most recent statistics. In England, that rate was 13.41 per 100,000 births in 2022.

There are about 14,000 midwives in the US, compared to 21,000 obstetricians, according to the American College of Nurse-Midwives, although a spokeswoman for the Washington-based group said the number of midwifery training programs are on the rise. Training programs for midwives increased from 38 to 46 last year, according to the group..

Oula was started by Harvard grad Adrianne Nickerson, who has degrees in biology and global health, as well as Elaine Purcell, who has a masters in health care administration from New York University, according to their LinkedIn profiles.

Oula’s first round of investment secured cash from a fund run by Clinton, who also has a masters in public health from Columbia University. That initial funding allowed Oula to open its two clinics, with a third on the way in upper Manhattan near Columbia University. More clinics are planned in the tri-state area, according to its founders.

One of Oula’s clinics is on Spring Street in Soho, above the trendy sushi restaurant Sugarfish. And the other is in ultra-affluent Brooklyn Heights, where its hotel lobby like entrance is next to the TikTok hit bakery, L’Appartment 4F.

One new mother praised the clinics , which feature buttery leather chairs and baskets of clementines, as “zen like.”

The former first daughter has spoken up for Oula, which in February clinched $28 million in investment from various venture capital funds, raising its overall funding to $50 million. Clinton was an early investor through her Metrodora Ventures LLC.

“Very proud to be an investor in Oula as they continue to build a midwife-centered care model that has better outcomes for mothers & babies alike,” Clinton posted on X in December.

Other backers include Jonathan Bush, the nephew of the former president, who quit in disgrace from his healthcare job at Athenahealth after the Daily Mail revealed in 2018 that he attacked his wife. Oula promises a path to profitability.

“The market opportunity Oula is going after is massive, and we were able to show that we had a winning business model and positive unit economics,” said Nickerson and Purcell in a February interview in Medium.

The start-up has delivered more than 1,500 babies since its founding, and now features 60 employees.

But the lawsuit raises questions over Oula’s predominantly midwife-led approach.

A woman cradles her infant at an Oula clinic.

Following the birth of the brain damaged infant last year, Mount Sinai West assigned a dedicated obstetrician to Oula’s patients, a source who did not want to be identified told The Post.

The source told The Post that Oula did not have a dedicated obstetrician at Mount Sinai West until recently, and relied on busy doctors and nurses when an emergency arose. Among the defendants in the lawsuit are nine doctors and nurses from Mount Sinai West, court papers say.

“Oula is all about the money,” a source who did not want to be identified told The Post Wednesday. “It’s really an egregious and dangerous line they’re walking.”

Among the job openings on the startup’s web site are ones for a clinical OB/GYN and an OB/GYN Laborist — a specialist in labor and delivery.

“We’re looking for a thoughtful and passionate leader who will provide obstetrical and postpartum care for patients and collaborate with our midwifery team at Mount Sinai West,” the ad on the Oula website reads.

“This position is 100% clinical and inpatient on the Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, Antepartum floors.”
