===1980s=== When Parliament-Funkadelic took a hiatus from touring in the early 1980s, Worrell was recruited, along with other musicians from differing [[Music genre|musical genres]] such as guitarist [[Adrian Belew]], to perform and record with [[Talking Heads]]. Worrell's experience and feel for different arrangements enhanced the overall sound of the band. Though he never officially joined Talking Heads, he was a ''[[de facto]]'' member of the group for most of the '80s: appearing on one of their studio albums, several solo albums, two tours and performing in their 1984 concert film ''[[Stop Making Sense]]''. Talking Heads officially disbanded in 1991. Worrell was later invited to perform with Talking Heads as part of their 2002 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/flashback-the-talking-heads-reunite-for-one-night-only-20121023 |title=Flashback: Talking Heads Reunite for One Night Only |first=Andy |last=Greene |date=October 23, 2012 |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |access-date=March 26, 2016 }}</ref> In 1983, Worrell provided keyboard parts for [[Mtume]]'s hit song "[[Juicy Fruit (song)|Juicy Fruit]]".<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/bernie-worrell-10-essential-tracks-from-the-p-funk-keyboardist-20160624 |title=Bernie Worrell: 10 Essential Tracks from the P-Funk Keyboardist |first1=Charles |last1=Aaron |first2=Mosi |last2=Reeves |date=June 24, 2016 |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=July 2, 2016}}</ref> Worrell co-produced [[Fred Schneider]]'s 1984 solo album ''[[Fred Schneider and the Shake Society]]'' and played keyboards and synthesizers on some of the album's tracks. [[File:Bernie Worrell-02.jpg|thumb|left|Worrell backstage in Cologne, Germany 1998]] In 1987 he appeared on the critically acclaimed solo release ''[[Casual Gods]]'' by [[Jerry Harrison]] of [[Talking Heads]].
