William 'Bootsy' Collins
Musician
Bootsy Collins, a legendary figure in the funk genre, is widely regarded as one of the greatest bassists, singers, bandleaders, and music producers in the history of funk and R&B. He was recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine as the fourth best bassist ever, and he is a member of both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy award winner.
From 1969 to 1971, Bootsy and his group served as James Brown's backup band, known as the J.B.'s. He then joined George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic in 1972 and launched Bootsy's Rubber Band as a spinoff of P-Funk in 1976. His innovative and clever progressions and patterns were an essential part of iconic records such as "Get Up, I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine."
Bootsy Collins' influence on popular culture cannot be overstated. His unique sound and appearance are deeply ingrained in modern music, whether it's R&B, funk, rock, hip-hop, or EDM. He has inspired and influenced countless artists, including Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Flea, Dr. Dre, Rick James, Prince, Daft Punk, Primus, Thundercat, and Silk Sonic, to name just a few of his many disciples.
