Release Notes:
Bootsy (born William Collins, October 26, 1951, Cincinnati) is a funk/R&B
bassist/singer/bandleader. He formed his first group, the Pacesetters, in 1968,
featuring Phelps "Catfish" Collins (his brother; guitar), Frankie "Kash" Waddy
(drums), and Philippe Wynne. From 1969 to 1971, the group functioned as James
Brown's backup band and was dubbed the J.B.'s. In 1972, Bootsy joined George
Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic. He launched Bootsy's Rubber Band as a spinoff
of P-Funk in 1976, the band including his brother Phelps, Waddy, Joel "Razor
Sharp" Johnson (keyboards), Gary "Mudbone" Cooper (drums), and Robert "P-Nut"
Johnson (vocals), along with "the Horny Horns." (He was sometimes billed alone
as Bootsy, and sometimes as William "Bootsy" Collins.) Signing to Warner Bros.,
he enjoyed the first of his 15 R&B singles chart entries in 1976 with
"Stretchin' Out (In a Rubber Band)." His most successful singles were "The
Pinocchio Theory" (1977) and the chart-topping "Bootzilla" (1978). He also
released six albums on Warners through 1982, including the gold-sellers
Ahh...The Name Is Bootsy, Baby! (1977) and Bootsy? Player of the Year (1978),
then took a six-year recording hiatus, and returned on Columbia in 1988 with the
appropriately named What's Bootsy Doin'? In 1989, Bootsy was a member of the
Bootzilla Orchestra on Malcolm McLaren's album Waltz Dancing. In 1990, Bootsy
was a featured guitarist and bassist with the dance music trio Deee-Lite.
Bootsy's New Rubber Band released Blasters of the Universe on August 2, 1994.
Fresh Outta 'P' University followed four years later. Numerous Collins live
shows and reissues appeared as the 21st century opened, and in 2006, the bassist
actually released a Christmas album, Christmas Is 4 Ever, on Shout Records. In
2011, the conceptual album, The Funk Capital of the World, landed with everyone
from Ice Cube to Samuel L. Jackson on the guest list.
