And The JBs Begat Bootsy Who Begat. . . The Funk!

Today the blog gets seriously funked up, paying tribute to Bootsy Collins, the mighty juggernaut known as Parliament-Funkadelic and its mastermind George Clinton.



Having started his musical career as the 18 year old electric bass wunderkind in James Brown's band, Cincinnati's own Mr. William Collins is not only responsible for more than outstanding music, but also for the good works of the Bootsy Collins Foundation.

Bootsy and George - we extend you a funk-drenched freestyle salute and thank you for five decades of tremendous entertainment.
