R.I.P. Phelps 'Catfish' Collins, funk guitarist (Bootsy's brother)

'Catfish' Collins passed on Friday from cancer. He was the older brother of William 'Bootsy' Collins.

He had played guitar with James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic and Bootsy's Rubber Band.

"Catfish" was 68 years old.

I'm sad to hear this news.

CATFISH was "the glue" that held together so many of Bootsy's jams - P-Funk's too. Catfish is arguably the best FUNK rhythm guitarist ever..

I'll see you tonight..
