About this listen

Author and filmmaker Seth Neblett joins Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley for a deep conversation about Mothership Connected: The Women of Parliament-Funkadelic and his mother, Mallia Franklin of Parlet and The Brides of Funkenstein.

Seth shares rare stories about growing up inside the P-Funk universe, Prince’s admiration for Mallia Franklin, and how the worlds of Prince, Apollonia Kotero, Denise Matthews (Vanity), and Jill Jones intersected in deeply personal ways — including attending Denise’s funeral and meeting Prince after a concert the next day.

This episode explores:

• The women of Parliament-Funkadelic

• Mallia Franklin’s legacy

• Prince’s respect for P-Funk

• Apollonia and Minneapolis connections

• Music history, remembrance, and recognition

An essential episode for fans of Prince, P-Funk, and funk music history.

🎙️ Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley features legendary and emerging funk, R&B, and Prince-associated artists. On air since 1982 and now spanning five decades, the show was personally spotlighted by Prince on his website in 2004. He also gifted us the One Nite Alone box set in 2002 — before any other media outlet.
