One Nation Under a Groove, Funkadelic's tenth studio album, came out on Warner Bros. in 1978, the high-water mark for George Clinton's sprawling P-Funk crew. Most of it was cut at United Sound Studio in Detroit, with one song taped live at the Monroe Civic Center in Monroe, Louisiana, and it marked the arrival of keyboardist and songwriter Walter "Junie" Morrison.
The Plainfield, New Jersey, outfit had started out backing the Parliaments before veering off into heavier, fuzzed-out psychedelic rock, and here the funk and the freak-out finally lock into one fat, rubbery groove. It became Funkadelic's biggest seller: number one on the Billboard R&B albums chart, number 16 on the Billboard 200 and platinum in the US. Rolling Stone ranked it among the 500 greatest albums of all time, and it has a place in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
