Why it's here
This was Parliament's first single to be certified Gold for selling one million copies, achieving that on October 19, 1976. [1] It was the highest-charting single from the Mothership Connection album, reaching number five on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart. [2]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
