Bootsy's Rubber Band - Strecthin' Out LP and Leslyn Bailey

I was Listening to this LP and remembering, how cool the background vocals are on this LP and thought about Leslyn Bailey, the only female vocalist in the group @ that time, or ever.

She enhanced the vocals of 'Bone, P-Nut and Bootsy on this LP, as I was listening to 'Physical Love' and how 'Bone's and Les's vocals compliment each others, or how on 'Vanish In Our Sleep' her vocals shadows Bootsy's.

It's a shame she couldn't hang with the Rubber Band, she wasn't a big void for the Rubber Band background vocals, because as we know, 'Bone and P-Nut kept strecthin' on without her.

She wrote and had lead vocal duty's on 'Love Vibe' which isn't bad @ all.
It fits right in with some of Parlet, or The Brides of Funkenstein songs.

Who knows, maybe she could have been a part of the She-Funk thang. Nevertheless she was a nice enhancement to the background vocals on this LP.

Boots stated one time that he didn't know how to handle a chick being on tour, so it was a relief for him, when she left.


Her voice reminds me of Minnie's


Never care for Love Vibes


Always thought it would've made a good b-side

Should've kept it off the album and left more room for I Rather Be With You to stretch..


Just my thang cool
