Parliament-Funkadelic Co-founder “Fuzzy” Haskins Dies at 81
Clarence “Fuzzy” Haskins, the Parliament-Funkadelic co-founder, singer and songwriter has died, George Clinton said.
Haskins was 81 when he died March 17; no cause was given.
“Fly on,” Clinton said.
Haskins was an original member of Clinton’s late-1950s doo-wop band the Parliaments, which morphed into the collaborative known as Parliament-Funkadelic. He co-wrote such as tracks as “I Got a Thing” and “I Wanna Know if it’s Good to You.”
As Parliament-Funkadelic expanded the boundaries of funk music, Haskins’ vocals “kept things connected to their street corner-harmony roots,” per the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted the band in 1997.
Haskins left the group in 1977 to become a preacher and more recently toured with a band calling itself the Original P.
“We will miss you, my friend, bandmate and soul brother,” Bootsy Collins said. “Thank you for your guidance in my pup years.”
