Phelps “Catfish” Collins, Guitarist For Parliament And James Brown, Brother Of Booty Collins, Dead

The guitar behnd James Brown on, according to Pitchfork, songs like”Soul Power”, “Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine”, and “Super Bad”, -in other words prime 70s Brown.
Playing rhythm guitar with the JB’s should be enough for any career but, get this, he played on George Clinton’s flat out greatest funk album ever America Eats His Young, along with, get this, kid brother greatest funk bassist ever Bootsy Collins.

To say they don’t make em like Catfish is to miss the point. Of course they do make em like Collins, and they do so by sampling his playing nonstop.

RIP, man. You done good.
