Glenn Lamont Goins (January 2, 1954 – July 29, 1978), also known as Glen Goins, was a singer and guitarist for Parliament-Funkadelic in the mid-1970s. Goins is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, posthumously inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. His first (known) recordings were as part of the group "The Bags". They released a single in 1972: "It's Heavy" b/w "Don't Mess With My Baby".



Biography


Born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, in a family of talented musicians, Goins was a master vocalist with a strong, haunting and powerful gospel voice. He is perhaps best known for "calling in the Mothership" in the P-Funk live shows, such as on the renowned P-Funk Earth Tour.


Goins was particularly prominent on the Parliament albums Mothership Connection (1975), The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein (1976), and Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome (1977). He played on the Funkadelic albums of this period as well. He sang lead vocals on "Bop Gun (Endangered Species)" and the remake of "Fantasy is Reality".


In 1977, Goins was one of the first of many musicians to leave Parliament-Funkadelic in reaction to what was perceived as very bad management by band leader George Clinton. He formed his own funk band Quazar in 1978, featuring his younger brother Kevin Goins and drummer Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey.


Glenn Goins died from Hodgkin's lymphoma, aged 24, in 1978.

PySpark count values by condition

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP PySpark count values by condition I have a DataFrame, a snippet here: [['u1', 1], ['u2', 0]] basically one string ('f') and either a 1 or a 0 for second element ('is_fav'). What I need to do is grouping on the first field and counting the occurrences of 1s and 0s. I was hoping to do something like num_fav = count((col("is_fav") == 1)).alias("num_fav") num_nonfav = count((col("is_fav") == 0)).alias("num_nonfav") df.groupBy("f").agg(num_fav, num_nonfav) It does not work properly, I get in both cases the same result which amounts to the count for the items in the group, so the filter (whether it is a 1 or a 0) seems to be ignored. Does this depend on how count works? count 1 Answer 1 There is no filter here. Both col("is_fav") == 1 and col("is_fav") == 0) are just boolean expressions and count doesn't really care about their value as long a
