The Brides Of Funkenstein were Lynn Mabry, Dawn Silva, Sheila Horn & Jean McGruder from the Parliament/Funkadelic camp. The group's name is based on a storyline and characters from the Parliament album The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein.

The record is surprisingly diverse and unpredictable. "Birdie," "Amorous," and the infectious opener "Disco to Go" are all very Parliament-like, but the jazz-influenced "Nappy" isn't unlike something Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band would have done. The melancholy "Just Like You" is a conventional soul ballad, and the glossy "When You're Gone" would have been appropriate for a Silver Convention album. On Funk or Walk, the Brides' two-woman lineup consists of Dawn Silva and Lynn Mabry, both demonstrating that they have no problem handling the variety of things that Clinton sends their way. ~ Alex Henderson
