&#8220;Bootsy&#8221; Collins was born on October 26, 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is an American musician and singer-songwriter. Elevating to prominence with James Brown in the early 1970s, and later with Parliament-Funkadelic, Collins&#8217;s driving bass guitar and humorous vocals established him as one of the leading names in funk. Collins&#8217; current signature instrument is a custom-built star-shaped bass guitar he calls the &#8220;Space Bass&#8221;, built for him by Manuel &#8220;Manny&#8221; Salvador of GuitarCraft in 1998. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f05187d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f05187d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1086779\" data-id=\"1086779\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b1add51 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b1add51\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5bd8d58\" data-id=\"5bd8d58\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e15ac69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e15ac69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What was the most valuable lesson you learned during your time playing with James Brown?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed7e840 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed7e840\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Discipline.
