The way this song is structured. The arrangement is next level...even by today's standards. The contrasting beats, the Cowbell the Horns hittin' Guitar, clanging, Drums, on a whole different beat. Cold!
Bootsy and his brother Catfish once was the great God-father of Soul's great band n the 60's and the early 70's,made his way 2 another extraordinary psychadelic rock & funk band "Parliament and Funkadelic".Thank u Bootsy 4 all of ur wonderful talent.Nobody can play the bass like u.May the funk be with u
I remember his standing on stage with a cape on. He had his back to the audience. On the back of the cape was a picture of Casper, the friendly ghost. Down at the bottom was one word, Boo! Then he turned around and said "Hallelujah!" It was over from there as he took funk to a whole new level.
There will never be another Bootsy Collins. real music.. real funk. when times were good!!! no shooting. no killing. everybody going to college and partying. this was the good life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the funkiest jams in the entire P-Funk Nation..Bootsy brought the funk..them star glasses is classic the star shaped bass is the greatest instrument ever made
Bootsy Collins about visiting Lagos, Nigeria in 1970: ''If you listen to ‘Stretchin’ Out,’ that was me playin’ drums. And that was my version of what I had picked up (Tony Allen drumming)''.
I'm just a technically a kid (26) who is really only discovering bootsy. This song has a funky ass bass line, can you recommend anymore of his songs with funky ass basslines?? 😂
Bootsy wrote some of the baddest bass licks ever and he's never given credit for his talent as a bass player, song writer and producer. Keep funkin Bootsy! James Brown invented the one and Bootsy and George Clinton perfected it!
I will always love you. Summer of 76 (or 77) I heard this every day at day camp (W.S. Dyett. ) My sister & I won a dance contest and was King & Queen of the Bud Billiken parade off this song.😄
The way he plays the bass is out of this world! He goes hard as hell! I love him and I love this song. He definitely went there and beyond! Hallelujah! You let me loose, you let the cat out the bag. Lol
I've been a Funkateer (59yo) ever since I saw my first Funk show Parliament/Funkadelic, George changed music forever, well him and James Brown, when they changed the hard beat from the four to the one. Hence, Everything is on the One. That changed everything, in Black music. The Funk is it's own Jonra.
Play old bootsy in a Buick 225 he was the greatest for the bass and all the songs at the car wash movie were based on him 😊THEGUY WAS YEARS A HEAD OF OF HIS TIMES .
I used to be a long distance truck driver who hated to drive thru the state of Ohio! Once I learned were the home of funk originated from! I love Ohio!!!!!!!
Thats Bootsy on the drums. He said in an interview this is him trying to play like Tony Allen who he saw play with Fela in Lagos on tour with JB in 1970 [when he was 17!!]
The commodores had a song called I feel sanctified The bar-Kay's had a song called Holy Ghost and how many James brown songs had the phrase GOOD GOD!!!!
Gc and bootsy always used references to religion Using old negroes spirituals like swing down sweet chariot Some called pfunk blasphemous for gc saying second coming and that Dr funkenstein was a messiah like being
Just been getting into funk and decided to put on Bootsy Collins because my dad praises his work and this is hands down the funkiest shit I've ever heard!!! The bass absolutely blows my mind!
I REMEMBER THIS SONG, I WAS STATIONED IN KOREA, CAMP HUMPHREY'S KOREA, AND MY BROTHER WAS ON CAMP CASEY. USE TO GO TO THE CLUB IN THE VILLAGE AND PARTY. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I WENT IN THE ARMY IN 74, I WAS STATIONED IN KOREA IN 75 TO 76.
Yes Sir. I remember his doing that at the Spectrum. He had is back to the audience. He wore a cape with a picture of Casper the friendly ghost on it. In the corner it had the word "Boo!" One of the best concerts I've ever attended. I'm still funked up about it after all these decades.
as a teen up and coming bass player when this album hit,I drove my moms crazy learning some of these tunes ,never was able to add a mutron to my gear though!
I'm 55 going to be 56 in August and back in 76 when this song came out I definitely didn't like it see I was a jazz snob as I was taught music playing the clarinet and then later the bass and I thought Bootsy destroyed all the theories of music with that sound I wasn't feeling it at all plus his voice was annoying to me too it took for my older brothers to put me down with Bootsy after really listening to him and paying attention I fell in love with him and my first Bootsy's Rubber Band show was 1978 during the player of the year tour Capt Sky and Confunkshun open up the show and I had a blast that night been a fan ever since thanks big Brothers
Funk music and the Voice of Funk in it's purest form. This timeless Masterpiece was created and performed by Mr Bootsy Collins the original innovator of Funk! Bootsy Collins musical and vocal collaboration is true genius! It is undeniable and can't be duplicated.
Would've loved to see Bootsy this past weekend July 27, 2019 when I went to see George Clinton farewell tour in Greensboro NC.. I think alot of fans wanted to see Bootsy..
The funk is still stretchin' from then until now and on forever. May the funk be wit' cha'! "All you innocent bystanders come and look under here", says the Boot.
2023 & still jamming this from 1976. Was a teen at Fort Belvoir, VA. Those were the days w/my friends Janiece, Shizell, Preston, Paulette & Denean. ❤ "Let the cat out da bag baby!" 4:23 then 2:13-2:49 and 4:00-4:13
This is easily one of the best bass lines I've ever heard! I don't know where Collins ranks among bass legends, but he has to be on a couple of Mt. Bassmores, either overall, in a particular genre, or as a composer
Man I remember gettin KTLA channell from Los Angeles and they used to play nothing but hip hop and it was the bomb!!!! But Funk was one of the roots it stemmed from!!!
Jamming on the 1 while serving in the Army in Germany 1974. Those were the days. Just a vet taking a stroll down memory lane. Any vets out there who can relate. Sound off!!
40 years old . This is how the future used to sound. It's been sampled , interpolated interpretaded and re cycled but you can't fake the funk bubbah baby. These cats out of Cincinatti Ohio had it. The Funk that is. And then some. Peace out.
This took me back in time i'm 55 best show ever at the Captal Center in the 70's we had the best of the best music can just feel it all over your body.
My first introduction to Booty’s Rubber Band in 77 , still my favorite band 😊 Still have this album .
The way this song is structured. The arrangement is next level...even by today's standards. The contrasting beats, the Cowbell the Horns hittin' Guitar, clanging, Drums, on a whole different beat. Cold!
The funk will NEVER die!!! Long live the funk!!! 🎶 🎶 🎸 🎸
Where would we be without Bootsy Collins?!?!?!
Nowhere
Still Hella Funky Even After All These Decades! The Funk Never Dies🎉
Bootsy and his brother Catfish once was the great God-father of Soul's great band n the 60's and the early 70's,made his way 2 another extraordinary psychadelic rock & funk band "Parliament and Funkadelic".Thank u Bootsy 4 all of ur wonderful talent.Nobody can play the bass like u.May the funk be with u

Yes! Bootsy was a good showman.

Real talk
I grafuated in 76 and we partied hard that night of this
I was 17
There will never be another Bootsy Collins. real music.. real funk. when times were good!!! no shooting. no killing. everybody going to college and partying. this was the good life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeh just a whole bunch of crack, smack, horse and junkies. Stop the bs today is much better then back then.
This is when black America was GREAT, yo!
Lindajefferson1847, you are DEFINITELY right when you said, "There will never be another Bootsy Collins." I LOVE THAT. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
One of the funkiest jams in the entire P-Funk Nation..Bootsy brought the funk..them star glasses is classic the star shaped bass is the greatest instrument ever made
Dude you said it, the greatest instrument ever made!!!!!
He don't get enough credit for that.
Have you ever seen it live? It lights up!
I believe it's called the Space Bass
Bootsy Collins about visiting Lagos, Nigeria in 1970: ''If you listen to ‘Stretchin’ Out,’ that was me playin’ drums. And that was my version of what I had picked up (Tony Allen drumming)''.
That bass is a monster.
Too funky. Still sounds good all these years later. Thanks for sharing.
I brought this album to school for show and tell when I was a kid In elementary school!!! I still have this album on vinyl!!
That's amazing! I love Vinyl 😄
What did you tell?😮
"TJ , anything else to share to the class for Show-and-Tell today ? "
"Don't fake the funk, or your nose gotsta grow, Boppa.."
This song is too damn cool!! This is the first song that got me into Bootsy.
Ditto!
Used to play with James Brown in the early 70's. Man has been funking all of his life!
Ain't he man!!!!
And let's not forget about Funkadelic.
I know Boosie fire this old man I got a Boosie and his brother
The Collins Brothers ain't no joke
MY FIRST BOOTSY COLLINS ALBUM. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED STRECHIN OUT.
No doubt ! I was in a band back in the day, and this was one of the songs that I would sing .
My sister had this lp and Brainstorm played the hell out both them.
I'm just a technically a kid (26) who is really only discovering bootsy.
This song has a funky ass bass line, can you recommend anymore of his songs with funky ass basslines?? 😂
Yes my brother yes. Glory B
I here you we was doing the dam thing then!
Grateful to you Mr Collins, for making Earth one of the stops on your extended tour🤩🤩
Still digging it almost 50 years later ❤.
Bootsy wrote some of the baddest bass licks ever and he's never given credit for his talent as a bass player, song writer and producer. Keep funkin Bootsy!
James Brown invented the one and Bootsy and George Clinton perfected it!
He was thinking of There it is by James Brown when he wrote this one.
Until now!
Bootsy is widely credited among the greatest bassists and one of the greatest influences to funk
Real talk. Co sign
I will always love you. Summer of 76 (or 77) I heard this every day at day camp (W.S. Dyett. ) My sister & I won a dance contest and was King & Queen of the Bud Billiken parade off this song.😄

James Brown Cold Sweat was the FIRST funk song. Parliament took it to another level.

Gc and bootsy always used references to religion
Using old negroes spirituals like swing down sweet chariot
Some called pfunk blasphemous for gc saying second coming and that Dr funkenstein was a messiah like being
bootsy Collins funk bass master
Insanely funky track. Love Bernie Worrell's superb synth work here. His contributions really enhance the song's ghostly, casper vibe.
Just been getting into funk and decided to put on Bootsy Collins because my dad praises his work and this is hands down the funkiest shit I've ever heard!!! The bass absolutely blows my mind!
I rate Bootsie as one of the greatest bass players ever. He musically knew what to do, at all times perfectly.
I still have my albums…this is in the stack! Old school!
West Dayton Ohio born and raised....Funk Capital of the World !!

Classic Bootsy funk Master groove, awesome Bass
Yes Sir. I remember his doing that at the Spectrum. He had is back to the audience. He wore a cape with a picture of Casper the friendly ghost on it. In the corner it had the word "Boo!" One of the best concerts I've ever attended. I'm still funked up about it after all these decades.
He first made his presence on lead vocals known on the Funkadelic cut:
"Be My Beach": Oh Bobba be my beach, beach
I was 5 when this song came out. My sister was 13. She and her friends played the grooves off of this and WGCI in Chicago did, too!
Oh Glory Be The Funks On Me !
And That's A Fo Sho RIGHT On from Detroit 👍
Definitely one of my faves from Bootzilla!
Still sounds great and stands up to anything nowadays!
My husband and I had all his albums, and even after all these years I still think this shit is SICK- OH YEAH!
And glory be to the 1 who knows what the funks about. Dig!!!
I was at the Funk Festival in the 80's with Chaka Khan, The Brothers Johnson, Parliament Funkadelic at The Los angeles Coliseum!
I was there, got a jaywalking ticket, so worth it!
My Favorite Funk Album

geoffrey lee Did your nose grow while you was FAKING THE PFUNK!!!! 😎🤘
Funk Festival Los Angeles Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 1979. Almost everybody was shermed up trippin' off of Boosty.
Boosty has a unique voice almost cartoon like but when you hear him there's no mistaken it's Bootsy !

This is easily one of the best bass lines I've ever heard! I don't know where Collins ranks among bass legends, but he has to be on a couple of Mt. Bassmores, either overall, in a particular genre, or as a composer
Louis Johnson and bootsey
@@wendellbolton8726 I was wondering who Bootsy was talking to when he said "play on brother"
Really can’t explain this era in music....you would have to certainly have been there 🤔✨
good music big baby, a live band, you don't get that these days. close your eyes and just listen.
