Also with his brother Catfish, Kash, and Philippé Wynne, the SPINNERS Philippé Wynne, neighborhood guys, formed a band The Pacemakers in 1968. In 1970 Bootsy started playing w/JB @ 17-18 !

    It's sad the artist can't give shows like this anymore, where did the intern act with the crowd and just have an awesome show. Very glad I grew up in the seventies go to shows like this. Brothers johnson, James brown, Kool & the gang, Ohio players, Isley Brothers and many many more but most of all the mothership connection. Thank you so much artist.😊😊

      THIS ENTIRE ALBUM was the sh*t. Everybody, I SAID EVERYBODY had it. The album came with a pair of cardboard sunglasses. Shaped just like his guitar. This man was a weed smoking machine. I'm sure u all hear the GEORGE CLINTON(PARLIMENT) influence. He played with them for a while.
