George Clinton 'Plays It Forward': A Musical Gratitude Project

For Thanksgiving Day, we're sharing a segment from our special series <a href="https://www.npr.org/series/820902203/play-it-forward">Play It Forward</a>, in which artists tell us about their own music and the musicians who inspire them. In this episode, funk legend George Clinton speaks to <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/2101154/ari-shapiro">Ari Shapiro</a> about the longevity and enduring influence of his band, Parliament-Funkadelic, being a hype man for other musicians, and an artist he's grateful for: opera singer and funk keyboardist Constance Hauman. On tomorrow's episode: Constance Hauman plays it forward. <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/npr-extra/2020/09/09/909126490/where-you-can-hear-a-localized-consider-this">In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.</a> Email us at <a href="mailto:considerthis@npr.org">considerthis@npr.org</a>.
