Bootsy? Player of the Year

Released

P-Funk were always the antithesis of beige, commercialised disco but that didn’t mean they shied away from uptempo 4/4 grooves as blistering album opener Bootsy What’s The Name Of This Town clearly demonstrates. Elsewhere you get a few of Bootsy’s distinctive ballads that are often part intimate soul-bearing confessions, part musical cartoon show, and a series of seismic-bass-helmed funk songs. Released in ’78 which was pretty much the peak of P-Funk’s global success, Bootsy? has surprises around every musical corner and features some of Collins’ best songwriting.
