No that shouldn't be allowed.

After Bootsy Collins left the J.B's he joined Parliament /Funkadelic. He also did some solo albums. They are out there baby. I need to be in a certain mood to play them.

Can't go any further without mentioning the mutha of all funky drum breaks. The most sampled piece of music in history.

Clyde Stubblefield's Funky Drummer. Four and a half minutes in James Brown counts the drum break in "don't let it loose cos it's a mother"

First up is some old school funk from 1970 ish. The JB's were James Browns' backing band from about M...
