Rising to prominence playing bass guitar for James Brown in the late 1960s, and with Parliament Funkadelic in the 1970s, Bootsy’s thunderous, infectious bass guitar and humorous vocals established him as one of the leading pioneers in funk. In 1997 Collins, along with 15 other members of Parliament Funkadelic, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"What's funny is that I was a guitar player before I joined Mr. Brown's band, and I wanted to play bass like Jimi Hendrix. Eventually, that's exactly what I did, adding effects and freeing up the instrument to go anywhere I imagined it could go. That's how Bootsy became Bootsy. James Brown wanted me to just keep it simple and keep on hitting that 'one'. I used to grumble about it, but today I'm thankful."
