Biography
The J.B.'s, a funk and soul music group from the United States of America, were formed in March 1970. The band originated as James Brown's backing group after most members left due to salary disputes. The initial lineup included William "Bootsy" Collins on bass, his brother Phelps Catfish Collins on guitar, Bobby Byrd on organ, and John "Jabo" Starks on drums. They played a pivotal role in some of James Brown's most intense funk recordings, including "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine" and "Super Bad". In December 1970, Fred Wesley joined the group as trombone player and leader. Other notable members included Maceo Parker and St. Clair Pinckney. The J.B.'s also released their own albums and singles, often produced by James Brown and published on his label People Records. Their hit "Doing It to Death" reached Number 1 on the R&B charts in July 1973. The group continued to evolve, releasing notable tracks like "Pass the Peas" and "Gimme Some More". They were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.
