  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ ........ .. .. .... ........ ................ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Oct.26th. Bootsy was born in Cincinnati Ohio, where he became a staff musician at King Records by the time he was 15. He then toured the world with Hank Ballard, & Marva Whitney. Then the hardest working man in show business Mr. James Brown put out a Boot-Singnal and Bootsy and his band of funkymen went off to become the Original JB's. After being talk the one from the Godfather, Bootsy then went on to play with George Clinton, Parliament Funkadelic, and also fronted his own band named: Bootsy's Rubber Band. He then met Bill Laswell, and recorded with lots of Artist like Herbie Hancock, Keith Richards, Cyndie Lauper, Ice Cube, Africa Bambaataa, and then he recieved a video in the mail in 1991 and it was from a guy with a Bucket on his head who called himself BucketHead, Bootsy told the Total Psycho to come on in and they Recorded Bucketheads first Album called: BucketHeadLand, that was Bootsy's first studio and the first time he stayed in the woods with a Cereal Killer. Right after that Dee-lite sends a Boot-signal in the sky and Bootsy answered, then they recorded: "Groove is in the Heart" Bootsy says, those were some of his best times in life other than traveling across country in a station wagon full of Funkadelic's and Lady Freaks wanting to ride along just for the funk of it. And yeah, they got plenty funked up! Bootsy then hooked up with Snoop Dogg, the Chilli Pepper's, Phil Ramone, Eddie Krammer, Buddy Miles, Sammy Hagar, Keith Richards, Bobby Womack, you name um and Bootsy was in the mix. Then all of a sudden Bootsy along with Parliament/Funkadelic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. In 2002 Bootsy recieved his first Grammy with his friend "FatBoySlim" (Weapon of Choice) now Bootsy is working on an upcoming album release entitled: ("The Funk Capital of the World) THE GROOVEMENT HAS BEGONE, and it' on tha' ONE Baba!! .. .. ..

    ..........(_ _) Hello my dear friend,
    have a delicious day.
    *big hug in your heat*
    a smile :))))) ♦♦ I ♦♦
    The dream in the cradle
    is the miracle of the night.
    Whenever I succumb to him,
    a piece of magic has awoken.
    the dream in our cradle,
    is the magic of our time.
    It is if I with him flies,
    a small piece of infinity.
    The dream in my cradle,
    is the fascination of the fantasy.
    The night melody where I she to defeat,
    with the little dream – from harmony.
