James Brown - Sex Machine: Wikipedia Album Entry

Released 1970, the first James Brown album to feature William "Bootsy" Collins on bass and brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins on guitar, both of whom went on to Parliament-Funkadelic fame years later. Bootsy and his brother Catfish were both in thier upper teens-early twenties at the time of this recording. Bootsy was fired within a year for coming on stage under the influence of LSD. Bootsy says, "I looked down at my bass and it turned into a snake, I didn't want no parts of that, so I threw my bass down and ran off stage."
