		Arguably, William "Bootsy" Collins was to 1970s P-funk what Snoop Doggy Dogg was to 1990s gangsta rap -- a quirky, goofy, highly colorful figure who was as funky as he was entertaining.
		If you removed all the humorous banter from Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band, it would still be an album of ultra-funky grooves.
		All of the albums that Collins provided in the late '70s are worth owning, but Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band is among his most consistent and his most essential.
