"To me, disco was like fucking with one stroke," Clinton told ROLLING STONE. "All they did was take one funk beat and sanitize it to no end." But in 1978, Clinton recruited keyboardist Junie Morrison, formerly of the Ohio Players, for this polyrhythmic manifesto. Clinton's thesis: "Here's a chance to dance our way out of our constrictions."
