Today Marks The 38th Anniversary of George Clinton’s 4th Studio Album “R&B Skeletons in the Closet” Originally Released on April 19, 1986.
R&B Skeletons in the Closet is the fourth solo album by Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton. It was released in April 1986 by Capitol Records.
The album reached #152 on the Billboard Hot Hip/R&B Albums chart.
“Do Fries Go with That Shake?” reached #13 on the Billboard's R&B chart.
Hey Good Lookin' reached #41 on the Billboard's R&B chart.
“R&B Skeletons (In the Closet) was released as a single but didn’t make the charts.
The album's concept deals with black musical artists attempts to "cross over" to white audiences and losing their core black audience in the process. R&B Skeletons in the Closet expands on the dance-funk sound of Clinton's previous solo albums, and it also incorporates elements of electro and hip hop music.
The album was reissued on CD by Capitol Records in 1991, but went out of print shortly thereafter.
