Through Invictus Records, Parliament met and then collaborated with singer-songwriter Ruth Copeland.  She co-produced Osmium with Clinton and co-wrote a couple songs for the album and a couple of singles, too.  The collaboration with Parliament continued on Ruth Copeland's solo debut Self-Portrait where Clinton and others played as session musicians.  The album is believed to have been recorded in the same period as Osmium and also released in 1970 on Invictus.
