| Bernie Worrell & The Woo Warriors | |||||
Master keyboardist and a most sampled musicianFew can truthfully lay claim to the term legend. Master keyboardist, Bernie Worrell, can. From the tender age of three when Worrell began tickling the ivories... to his first concert performance at four... to his first Concerto composition at age eight, Worrell was duly certified a prodigy. His studies at the New England Conservatory of Music and Julliard School of Music endowed Worrell with an undeniably strong classical foundation, the substructure for the supernatural experimentation that was to come. Early in his professional life, Worrell was one of the founding members of the supergroup, Parliament- Funkadelic; he co-wrote, co-produced, recorded and performed most of the group's compositions -- classics "Flashlight," "Atomic Dog," "Knee Deep," "Cosmic Slop" and "Red Hot Mama" (to name just a few) -- on its fifty-plus albums and globe-spanning tours. These songs -- and many more with Worrell's consummate musical licks -- continue to remain popular. Additionally, top rap and hip-hop artists and groups including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Salt 'n' Pepa, Snoop Doggy Dog, En Vogue, Digital Underground, Heavy D, and De La Soul are just a few who have built hit songs around Worrell's one-of-a-kind riffs, making him one of the most "sampled" musicians, period! |
