GARRY “DIAPERMAN” SHIDER: 2002
This is a late-era solo work by Garry “Starchild” Shider, a guitarist/vocalist who was an extremely important part of the P-Funk machine for many decades (1971–2010). He was one of the most important members of the band in terms of sheer output of work and input of ideas. Shider cowrote many hit P-Funk songs and was a master vocal arranger. Always much more of a “team player,” he did not do a lot of solo work, as most of his work was incorporated into the larger P-Funk framework. Shider’s indelible mark on the music world through his P-Funk contributions is well solidified in the annals of music history.
