Huey Remixed 2017: Kendra Foster

On October 5, 2017, a photograph of Kendra Foster posing as Uncle Jam, was published by the singer on Facebook.

“”I promise to funk promise to keep it’s promise you’ll keep the funk 🤘🏾” – @yolikegeorge”

Kendra Foster, singer with George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic, posted this image on her Facebook page. Given the composition —a symmetrical composition featuring a figure sitting up straight in a chair, legs crossed and one arm with index-finger pointing up— clearly is a hommage to the Uncle Jam-cover (1979), which is a re-mix of the photo of Huey P. Newton.
