Glenn Lamont Goins (January 2, 1954 – July 29, 1978), also known as Glen Goins, was a singer and guitarist for Parliament-Funkadelic in the mid-1970s. Goins is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, posthumously inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. His first (known) recordings were as part of the group "The Bags". They released a single in 1972: "It's Heavy" b/w "Don't Mess With My Baby". ==Biography== Born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, in a family of talented musicians, this master vocalist with the strong, haunting and powerful gospel voice is perhaps best known for "calling in the Mothership" in the P Funk live shows, such as on the renowned P Funk Earth Tour. Goins was particularly prominent on the Parliament albums ''Mothership Connection'' (1975), ''The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein'' (1976), and ''Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome'' (1977), and played on the Funkadelic albums of this period as well. In 1977, Goins was one of the first of many musicians to leave Parliament-Funkadelic in reaction to what was perceived as very bad management by band leader George Clinton. He formed his own funk band Quazar in 1978, featuring his younger brother Kevin Goins and drummer Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey. Glenn Goins died from Hodgkin's lymphoma, aged 24, in 1978. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenn Goins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
