      George Clinton's post-bicentennial message to those in the "Chocolate cities" was that America could be theirs too, and without any loss of their own black, regional identities. One Nation Under a Groove remains P-Funk's most provocative release, as well as one of the funkiest long-players released in the disco era. The band vamps on a world where people of different color play each other's songs ("Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!"), lose their inhibitions (the classic title track), and bond together with the glue of shared secrets (the wonderful "Grooveallegiance"). Standout: the slow-grooved "Into You," where a lover vows to stay true, or a patriot pledges devotion to a new flag--take your pick. You might think that a complex and moving ode to commitment is out of place on an album with such political overtones, but it's not. It's really the quiet-storm centerpiece. --Don Harrison
