The Parliaments: Heart Trouble
1965


The Parliaments were the precursor to Parliament, the George Clinton led 70’s funk band. This is the George Clinton led 60’s soul/doo-wop quintet. Heart Trouble was their third single. It was released in 1965 on Golden World Records.  Like the flipside (That Was My Girl), it was co-written by George Clinton and Sidney Barnes. A few years later George Clinton rewrote Heart Trouble as You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure for his other band Funkadelic, it appears on their 1973 Cosmic Slop album. The B-side, That Was My Girl, was also later reworked by George Clinton and features of Funkadelic’s 1972 double album America Eats Its Young.
