The Collins brothers helped Brown produce some of the most rhythmically innovative music of his career, but the real star of this period was the drummer Clyde Stubblefield, the title character of "Funky Drummer" (included here) and the prime mover behind such hits as "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing" and "Soul Power."
Brown's mid-sixties funk is often spoken of as a complete break with the music that preceded it, but "Messing with the Blues" illustrates that even his most radical innovations were solidly rooted in the work of Louis Jordan, Roy Brown, Little Willie John, and others.
But the fact that Polydor had reached the bottom of the James Brown barrel was a mixed blessing, for it motivated the label to cast a slightly wider net through Brown's recorded universe.

 Bootsy Collins: Biography : Rolling Stone
His career is like a Horatio Alger story based in Chocolate City: Plucked from teenage obscurity in 1969 to play with James Brown, the former William Collins of Cincinnati brought a slap-happy zest to JB's sound, then hooked up with Clinton and was reborn in his image, with a little help from LSD.
The groove flows free on a string of six albums for Warner Bros. from 1976 to 1982 (of which four remain in print), with Bootsy ably leading a top-notch band of mostly P-Funk vets, including his brother Catfish Collins on guitar, Bernie Worrell on keyboards, and a horn section including Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker.
The melodies are smooth and rich, and Bootsy's bass admirably unobtrusive; unlike some P-Funk discs from this period, the sound is focused and uncluttered, more akin to carefree disco than Clinton's utopian head trip.

Brown was both a brilliant bandleader and a stern taskmaster, leading his band to walk out on him in late 1969.
The Collins brothers, for their part, put their apprenticeship to good use, helping define '70s funk as members of the Parliament/Funkadelic group.
In the early '70s, many of the most important members of Brown's late-'60s band returned to the fold, to be billed as the JB's (they also made records on their own).
