My old ear still love Bootsy

Wow, I noticed that too. Even the way he speaks, they both are the definition of cool.

I'm thinking Sly

And Rick James got his influence from bootsy

Check out tales from the tour bus.

Lol I'm sure it was a lot of cocaine involved

DEADASS

"full of jokes"

Mudbone Cooper's falsetto singing was top notch.

PREACH 🙌

Dude is an alien

Stupid falsetto.

And those smashing space bass lines

Sound good to me

He and his brother

@AphroditeRising -- Bootsy was my Bloom Jr. High classmate in Cincinnati, OH. 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 ! HE was silly--serious THEN, and a GOOD guy !!!

Girl you late we been knew that

@@MrNikoncameraman That’s pretty cool.

Yes indeed 👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻

💯

I’m 30 and my father and I listen to this every chance we get. Thank god they got dis on film

HOPEFULLY they'll see it!!! Frfr 😉

I’m 19 and absolutely adore it, my parents don’t get it 😂😂

Right as he disappeared to go do some drugs 😂

Billy Grady you know it😂

EXACTLY🤣💯

Ain't that the damn truth! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Right...with his "not because I'm on drugs.." lolol right..

💯!!!😂

Omni they really do, I’m happy to see then legendary singers behind this song

I love it! Bone and Peanut keeping it on point and loving the space bass🎶🎸✌❤

I TOTALLY AGREE. THEY MADE THE SONG. I LOVE BOOTSY BUT HE SHOULD HAVE LET THEM SING THIS SONG AND JUST PLAYED BEHIND THEM. BONES AND PEANUT KILLED IT!!

They really do..bone vocals are off the chain. They damn sure dont sing like this anymore

I promise they really do 💯💯😎😎

It will come back around, I have faith.

🎯

How absolutely correct you are!!

instead we get trap music.

Well said well said and it will come back someday because it has no choice/sampling is practically over and drum machine is about over

Onggg

@@jaynellioriginal5160 kinda seems like a excuse to hit in every chick in the building more than a planned part of the song,but it created buildup in a way that works.

@@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms which musical artist didn’t do this? Just because this may have been overtly conveyed doesn’t make it obscene. GTFO here with that back handed compliment.

@@JK-yk1og A lot didn't.

@@JK-yk1og Especially not 70s shit,like Rush obviously weren't trying to get laid for instance.

Wow!!! Only 25 genius

Wow

Whoa!!

He has a very young sexy energy here. I can see the 25 glow on him

They matured faster back then

lol “Baby boy”

Ah yea right

Denise Bernard Ha!! Me too😂

Me three ! And I don't have a Vajayjay ..lol

@@TheCiaMKultra now you do. jus kidin! 😜

giiiiiiiiirl if you ain't pregnant by the end of this song you done something wrong lol #ThatBabyHittin

@@naturallaw1733 Maybe I did and I just didn't realize it untill saw the video to this song. I always had the feeling since hearing the song. But putting the two together .... It's like

You beat me to it...COVID-19 or not I'm still bumpin.

lol

Covid ain't got nuttin to do with the Bootsy!

They don't know lol

Yes Yes!

Yeah they was elite bootsy could've just let them kill the whole song while he played the guitar

Bone is the baddest.....

I don't know. On that, they were pretty much foreground singers.

Yes!

😉

Yessssssss 🤗

Ohhhh baBbbbyyyy. Yea... He owned his BLACKNESS, his raw sensuality, talent, machismo and charisma to match. HOT damnnnn

YESSUH!!! I love it all.

@@Sakazhua im here for babiii.

Well put.

Back when it was acceptable to hit your wife

@@Kosmopoli that is SOOOO not what that meant and it was NOT acceptable to hit your wife with this song came out. You have no idea about what was happening in the 70s. I do because I was alive.

This isn’t really respectful to woman. I mean it’s awesome. But let’s not pretend this is some elegant allegory about romance.

"I'm a come all in your face"! Lol DAMN the 70s was nasty! Lol

He isn't underated

Yeaww baby yeaww 😂💯🐐👑🎸🔥😎

@@christinagraham2915 I feel like with musicians like "Thundercat", Bootsy is as relevant as ever.

Yeahhhhh beeeebayyyy

Bootzilla Baby

Ashley Harris partially, theres others though, darlin'

Like Mandré "M3000" album check it out

him and Ike Turner

More like Too $hort Andre has more of a Crutis Mayfield sound

him, ike turner, jimi hendrix, curtis mayfield

Dru down

A true play on words back in the day when folks was clueless!!!

Hendrix did

Except Jimi Hendrix ...

Imagine that space bass and guitar???

He’s not dead lol

@@SoulfulCowboy sure ain’t lol

but he's recovering from surgery he's been sick for a while so he's not going to be performing

some COLD bass

Righttt hearing live versions of certain songs just make em hit different fasho! 💯🎶🗣🎸🔥🥰

Ooh Rahh!!!

Thank you for your service. 👊🏾

OHIO FUNK CAPITAL

Underrated comment 💯❗️

I agree 1 trillion percent...but don't sleep on Larry Graham

Bootsy doesn't "connect" all those artists, he IS the bassist for all those artists. Literally. Bassist for James Brown, Parliament, DeeLite, and sampled by Childish Gambino.

Facts 🤙🏾

Have mercyyyyy!🎸❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Lmao word he said it like it was nothing back then shit we say now lol

Shyt had me 😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yo why as soon as I seen this comment he said it I'm dead🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Best RU-vid comment of the month. This is too good to be free. But I'm thankful. Lol

Jasmine Harper Non-cummers. Subordinates. Bootsy is a better man than all 900 of those non-cummers.

This damn retarded era

I feel bad for them!

Real music!!

Probably some yung knuckle heads lookin' for some mumble rap. 😕

I know this was before my time but I appreciate this sound and wish music was more like this today

Still coming back, October 2021, and most likely will be back again, Funkateer fo' life #F4L#

@@yvetteholly5992 They got the funk. funk yeah

I AM. AND STILL LOVE IT

Me just love the guitar

fr he straight told on himself he was so geeked

+Chris Gilrath CG tell me something good about God then Joker?Boom black 2016 funk is Good for the soul TBT

meaning on acid like I dont shovel snow I cut grass mean I don't like coke I smoke weed

Lol

Lol

a sheet with bootsy or the mothership connection would be wild

If you lick his star madallon on the screen within the first 30 microseconds of the footage reaching the point where he takes off his jacket . Then a micro dot will transfer digitally through cyberspace through the power of digital telekinesis. Well , that's is what I was told at least . I dont know if it works but I don't recommend trying it untill your screen is fully sanitized or possible to contract another kind of micro organism or pathogen . Peace ! Be safe and sound ! Take a trip by staying home on the couch

@@5PercentTint keep it on the downlow! The same person who told me also mentioned that there is a limited amount of supplies of Bootsy's digital micro dots

Noted

Yeah baby. Smooth

Wow that sums it up perfectly

@King Swift Lol word

💯

Peruvian marching powder?

And Bootsy was influenced by Larry Graham and Hendrix too.

@@panama8009 graham was a savage. thundercat is worth checking out if you havent...might be the last time you hear something this funky in this lifetime

@@panama8009 Absolutely. Bootsy acknowledges Larry Graham, and his style of original "slap bass" playing as his first, and major influence. Check it Out! Ciao!!! Bootsy looks a lot like Sly Stone, style wise. He was obviously a fan of "Sly & the Family Stone" Bootsy had to be a BAD boy to be a part of James Brown's band the "JB's. Listen to James' hit "Doin' It To Death". Check it Out! Ciao!!!

@@panama8009 - And don't forget Sugarfoot of The Ohio Players

Funkiest man alive ! I want to catch the next train to Funkville, Utopia

Funk on Brotha man ! Funk on

He has a few pedalboards. A wha or cry baby, a chores and probably a flanger., and a fuzz box. Can’t do funk without a crybaby.

@@horacestacey3549 Year I was born . My parents listen to John Denver ....lol I think I have a better taste in music . Yearly P- Funk Bernie Worell R.I.P.

@@horacestacey3549 Totally off subject on last comment . Sorry about that! You are right , he had allot of tricks in his bag ! He mastered the sound of funk!

Yessss

What does this comment even mean? Bootsy is American, specifically Black American. Just enjoy this beautiful art created by Black Americans!

Shoot ❤️ Ever heard of War? We make the best music, especially when we’re together 🖤🤎

Indeed. I’m proud also. Shalom.

@@jaynellioriginal5160 what do you mean ??? Like war.

@@el-coyote8496 They’re an old school music band. The band is a blend of Latinos Latinx & Afro Americans etc. I mean when we blend together we make beautiful music

You mean to say is and not was.

@@davidcason3448 Oops, my bad. You are right. Thank you.

@ZuluTime Productions true but real talk those were his influences rho

Exactly 💯

Sho u right

@ZuluTime Productions Why are you fucking crying about it?

Yeah he has some Jimi swagger in his speech patterns.

Digby in the Doghouse - as my grandma says “ that baby been here before” lol. Keep him in the music baby.

Had the chance to meet Nile when I was a kid but I didn’t know who he really was at the time lol

Oh yeah. .....lol.

a funky child😂

I just caught a pop up performance with Niles last year with Ekoostik Hookah. Also saw him at the gas station prior to the performance and thought to myself at the time thus guy looks familiar only to be reaffirmed as he set up his bass on stage with the band for a one off song. pretty slick

That was the high pitch of Kevin Hart 😂

It’s a woman with a baldy

LMAO

I lobewhen he told the men to lower down cuz he wants to hear his snaps 😂

same here thought it was Mauric White from Earth Wind and Fire alone who mastered that soul falsetto

Larry june

@@wezzel2345 yes

So damn coop

I do

He was born in 1951, when the United States had soul.

Say that again 🫶🏾

Damn right!!!

I would get you flowers from Africa

@@dominicfaison5889 I don’t want those then lol

Hit replay...

Bone is amazing to

Jasmine Coz That's who he's referring to.😉

@@inspectorbudget i meant peanut

Starr Company Watch the video of Stanley Clarke’s Night School on RU-vid and early videos of Sly and the Family Stone with Larry Graham on bass. He revolutionized the bass with his style. Now everyone copies him.

He's a legendary player and is in several jazz rock fusion bands with the likes of Buckethead, Steve Vai, Alex Skolnick as well as James Brown and the Funk Bros. Most people only know him for Parliament/ Funkadelic but he has many other projects under his belt.

@Ric Hicks So you saying James was like Prince when it came to work ethics huh?

@@starrcompany3275 No he's saying Prince was like JAMES

@Ric Hicks and I believe it was 1970 when Bootsy became one of the JB's. So it was close to the same time as when the great Larry Graham was slapping that bass up for the Family Stone. Graham got him by about two years.

Falsetto!

Ur beautiful

@@cardenas86pcec aw thanks glad we both love this song ayeee

@@Kary3797 a mi tambien me da gusto. Have a wonderful evening chula

His four octave vocal range is impeccable.

Sh4m4n Pi7ot I didn't know Bootsy was like that on bass

he is rocking that thing like it’s not even funky anymore! amazing

TRUE

+Wes Zombie He got away with it Babba! LOL

Prince was talking out coming on girls' wedding gowns and banging his sister

@@FoxyChariot and a whole song about mutual masturbation.

Say some shit like that now and we'd have a Surviving Bootsy on our hands 😅

Bootsy playing the bass with Jill Scott on the mic...

And the P FUNK'S FOR VICE PRESIDENT AND FILL THE CABINET...THEN WE SHALL BE ONE NATION OVERSTANDING AND UNDER A GROOVE....ONLY THEN SHALL WE SEE PEACE AND PROGRESS,EVERYONE AS A NATION...
