Gary "Mudbone" Cooper of the funk group, Bootsy's Rubber Band & Parliament-Funkadelic. 

One of the best voice in the Business a true Gentleman cool as a fan my Friend from way back sending Love from Cincinnati ❤

Gary "Mudbone" Cooper's performance with Deee-Lite on _Saturday Night Live_ way back in February 1991 is still TO. DIE. FOR. His voice so beautifully complemented the Lady Miss Kier's and in that brief-but-beautiful moment in pop culture history, that band never sounded better, even without having performed "Groove is in the Heart."

Good to hear from Gary "Mudbone" Cooper. His multi-octave voice and ultra high falsetto is all over the P-funk albums as well as Bootsy's Rubber Band. I'm really glad Mudbone didn't fade into the shadows of Funkadelic history. Good stuff, man !

Gary has one of the best voices Funk has ever heard not just Funk R&B music.

Gary is a HERO of Music!! What an incredible talent and great singer/songwriter!! YESSS!

Absolutely incredible to be able to see the original costume of Mudbone in a funk museum! Would not have thought that those outfits would still exist.

'Bone dropped so many bombs of knowledge in this short interview. Learning that he played the original drums on P-Funk (Wants to get Funked Up) was worth the price of the ticket alone! All this time, I assumed that it was Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey. Also, learning that Bootsy got the idea for Stretchin' Out from some drummin' over in Africa... mind blown in the best of ways.

One of the best. Thanks for all he has done.

very cool. We're lucky Gary has a great memory. Nobody sounds better. Such a beautiful sound with Peanut(rip

A true gentleman and one of greatest vocalist in music.

We love ya Muddy!!! Thanks to The Funk Music Hall of Fame for the great interview!!

This man interviewing Mudbone is much better than the host they had asking questions on the older ones. Much better questions. Keep them coming

Love the Funkhistory 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾We need the FUNK

Excellent, excellent interview. Invaluable jewels of knowledge being dispensed here.

Have nothing but the upmost respect for you listen to your music for years

Funk Music Hall of Fame is what I have been talking about for many years. Stop looking and begging other people to give us acclaim and start recognizing your own worth.

Thank you for the awesome interview. I just watched Bootsy’s jazz a Vienne, and wondered where Mudbone was. I’m glad to here that he’s doing well. I saw Bootsy twice in San Francisco and was able to talk to bootsy at the Fillmore and asked where Gary mudbone Cooper was because I couldn’t hear his distinctive vocals in the mix.Bootsy said,he right behind you. I wanted to say something, but I was to shy.His vocals are so unique.Much luv.

HE'S A HUMBLE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR OF THE FUNK...WE LOVE YOU GARY "MUDBONE" COOPER

Wow Dennis and Skeet absolute Legends 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾Chester Stand Up!!!!

The 1978 song "Very Yes" of Bootsy's Rubber Band "Player of the Year" album is definitely one of "Mudbone'" classic's featuring his vocals.

Excellent

Still blown away by the Fela Kuti reference 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾

Interesting also about the trumpet player from the group Chase which was named after a jazz trumpeter named Bill Chase who as stated was one of the first rock jazz fusion bands in the 60's...

Awesome

These are two funky cats. There were so many colorful personalties within the P-Funk collective.
