Chocolate City · In 1975, Parliament released their third album, as a tribute to Washington, D.C., where the group was particularly popular. The name comes from an expression that black radio stations in the city had used since the early 1970s, because black people were becoming the majority there. George Clinton made a positive image of it in the title song. The sleeve shows the Capitol, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial in the shape of a chocolate medallion. The classic P-Funk line-up plays on the record, along with guests such as the Brecker Brothers and singer Glenn Goins. There is a lot of fast funk and group singing. Let Me Be draws on jazz and gospel, and I Misjudged You is a tribute to the Unifics from Washington.
In the capital alone, 150,000 copies were sold.
