Parliament – Osmium

🎵 The Music Inside

Released in 1970, Osmium marks the debut of Parliament, founded by George Clinton. It's a psychedelic soul-jam carnival featuring tracks like “I Call My Baby Pussycat,” “Put Love in Your Life,” “Little Ole Country Boy,” “My Automobile,” and the haunting “The Silent Boatman.” Expect doo-wop, gospel, rock, and experimental funk in a kaleidoscopic blend.
