Another Lost Gem – Purple Image – Cleveland’s Funkadelic

Cleveland’s Black Rock Legacy: Purple Image. This band was based in the same neighborhood as The Flux-adel Recording Division’s current home, and you might have heard of the Bone Thugs ‘n Harmony, another band from this part of town.

This is Funkadelic-level greatness in 1970. Outstanding!

True lyrics from the east side of Cleveland. You want tough? We know tough.

As a side note to the excellent music, what’s with the word-bending genre divisions going on with music?

This is clearly to me some serious rock and roll, as soulful and heavy as anything I’ve heard. So don’t let color get in the way of your descriptions, just enjoy the beauty and reality of your surroundings.
