History

William "Bootsy" Collins (born October 26, 1951, in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American bassist, singer, and songwriter, and one of funk music's most influential figures. He got his start as a teenager backing James Brown in the late 1960s with the group later known as The J.B.'s, before Brown fired him after an onstage LSD incident. In 1972 Collins joined George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic collective, where his driving basslines, cartoonish vocal style, and star-shaped "Space Bass" became signatures of the P-Funk sound; he co-wrote the hit "Tear the Roof Off the Sucker" and played on most of the group's albums through the early 1980s. Clinton encouraged him to launch his own act, Bootsy's Rubber Band, whose 1978 album Bootsy? Player of the Year topped the Billboard R&B chart and produced the hit "Bootzilla." He later collaborated across genres, including Deee-Lite's "Groove Is in the Heart" and Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." Collins was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as part of Parliament-Funkadelic, and Rolling Stone ranked him among the greatest bassists of all time.
