Standing on the Verge of Getting It On is the sixth studio album by Funkadelic, released on Westbound Records, released in July 1974. It is notable for featuring the return of guitarist Eddie Hazel.

On this album, the lyrics generally take a backseat to the music and the jamming. It is one of the most popular Funkadelic albums among fans,Template:Citation needed and highlights the virtuosic guitar of the returning Eddie Hazel, who had departed following 1971's Maggot Brain.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Hazel co-wrote all of the album's songs, although the songwriting credits were mostly in the name of Grace Cook, Hazel's mother (a gambit by Hazel to avoid contractual difficulties with the publishing rights).

Ned Raggett writes in AllMusic that "Jimmy's Got a Little Bit of Bitch in Him" is a "friendly" song about "a gay friend" and notes that this stands in contrast with later negative attitudes towards homosexuality among hip-hop artists who often sampled P-Funk songs.<ref name="AllMusic|class=album|id=r38486">{{#ifeq: | yes | https://www.allmusic.com/album/r38486{{

Song informationEdit

“Red Hot Momma”Edit

This song is a remake of a song by Parliament while the band was signed to Invictus Records. The title of this song has been spelt in three different ways on various Parliaments, Funkadelic, and Parliament releases that have featured a version of the song, with the final word being spelled as "Mama," "Mamma," or "Momma."

The guitar solo and jam that conclude this song were continued in the studio, and ended up as a B-side titled "Vital Juices," featuring guitar work by Eddie Hazel and Ron Bykowski. That track is found on Westbound compilation CD Music For Your Mother: Funkadelic 45s as well as the recent CD reissue of the original album.

  • Lead Vocals: George Clinton & Eddie Hazel
  • Lead Guitars and Solos: Eddie Hazel & Ron Bykowski
