Permanent smile on Bootsy's face. Love it.
Bernie was Amazing...I was like , we're did he get those coool sounds man🎶💓
R.I.P. to the great, musical genius Bernie Worrell, you will be missed !
Shit, i didn't know he'd died.
Damn how did he pass 😔
Stage 4 lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and something else
I was friends with Bootsy Collins when I was on Facebook. He was so sweet and kind. He is a precious and brilliant soul
.Bernie Worrell is the innovator for synthesizer bass. A truly gifted and talented musician that was not arrogant. We miss you.
I worship Bernie, really. But Stevie was doing this synth bass stuff in the early 70s. Listen to "Superwoman", "Creepin", "All Day Sucker", or "Too High". I'm not sure who was doing it as funky before Stevie.
Bernie's honesty and generosity were what made him so cool. He told me to keep funkin' from my heart. In my brief meeting I had with him, surrounded by people, I could see Bernie was a charming, genuine, no bullshit kind of guy. Everything he said to us came "right from the hip." He was eloquent in his honesty, didn't mince words and wasn't obnoxious. He was a man's man. Big Ups, Bernie.
Nasher188 in his last year, how was or what was his relationship with George Clinton? I heard when he got cancer, George got funny with the money. Is that true? Or have you heard?
Bernie once advised Me to Not Forget The Artist that came Before me... I immediately added 500 Thank You's to the Liner notes of my first A wisdom from The Woo!
And you can guarantee they were BLAZED 💨💨💨💨💨😎
Bootsy keepin it real! God bless BOOTSY!!!!
I met Bootsy Collins in the late 90s in a shop in Covent Garden in London. I was installing their IT system, when Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics) walked in with Bootsy. It was Dave’s shop and he was showing Bootsy around - wearing a silver spandex jump-suit, shades and a huge smile. As a long-term Funkadelic fan, I was so dumbstruck, I completely ignored Stewart to splutter “You’re Bootsy Collins!!”. The tall, thin bassist looked at me with a smile and said “Yeah, man . . . . I know!”
It was the early days of the internet but I kick myself for not asking for an email address. The same thing happened when I met Brian Eno’s daughter - I talk to her for ages about her dad but didn’t think to ask until we’d parted 🤨
Bernie Worrell is a fine keyboard player, he’s up there with George Duke and Alice Coltrane and Herbie, an inspiration for aspiring amateurs like myself.
Interview With A Giant! Long Live Bootsy!!! One of The Most Influential Artists of All Time, Especially since he played w/King James Brown on some of The Greatest Compositions of All Time-With James Brown & ParliamenFunkadelic.
Bernie is definitley THE GREATEST keyboard player! I am truely a Bernie Worrell fan. What a lot of people are unaware of is that he was a child prodigy who not only studied classical music but wrote his 1st concerto before he was a teenager. He studied Bach, Beethoven, etc. and could play their music note for note. George Clinton was very blessed to get some of the very best, if not THE best artists in music and have them surround him on record & stage. P-Funk guitarists can put Prince to shame!
@@williamperri3437 I stand corrected. Perhaps that was too strong a statement I made...and I do like Prince. It sure would've been mind-blowing to see Prince on stage jamming with Eddie Hazel, a young Michael Hampton, Blackbyrd, Bernie, Bigfoot Brailey, Bootsy and Rodney "Skeet" Curtis sharing bass as well as the Horny Horns! Just instrumental funk jamming!!
My idols. I'm one who listened to those p-funk and later Talking Heads records backwards and forwards. Bernie will live on in my heart, no matter what industrial guise my music takes.
To the Wizard of "WOO"...You will be with us "ALWAYS"!!!
Glad to see a classic Memorymoog in the background, when so many of the older guys only have the lastest plasti-synth and the LITE plasti sounds that go with it. Bootsy, unlike many other long-time musicians, still has vibrancy and life, and looks healthy. Glad he's giving props to Bernie (and others deserve mention), because Wonder always gets all the credit when there were always others, like Herbie Hancock and others.
thanks for posting this. i love hearing such legends talk about the theory of their work
Bernie Worrell = Thelonious Funk
R.I.P Bernie, I'll be diggin' your grooves for days and days!
Not one of the best Keyboard players on the Planet. But the Best Keyboard Player on the Planet...
Absolutely!!!!!!!
All these years I thought Bernie was playing Clavinet on "A Joyful Process." My mind is blown!
Bootsy is such a cool cat. Nicest dude ever.
minimoog '70-'81
Bootsy still looking young
Bernie is way too underrated !
2 people have lost their FUNKING MINDS!
Chad Cullen ....make that 6 people now.
7 people don't like something ..hmm can't be this. They confused.
RIP brother Bernie.
Bernie's stuff to me was like he put the icing on the cake, he finds spaces in the music that need fillin[feeling],,,, thanks and blessing to Bernie Worrell
And he finds those spaces you didn't even know needed filling and goes to the places you didn't know exist!
I never saw the group, but I've watched the Mothership Connection 1976 Houston show and the solo he does there on Undisco Kid is the opposite of any soloing I've ever heard. Instead of showing off Bernie goes explorer mode, and the whole thing sounds almost amateurish, especially for a classically trained dude like him - there are some sour notes here and there - but it doesn't matter really. Every note he plays feels like a revelation. It's really inspirational to see someone who's so good dare to play something like what he does there.
Excellent interview!
AMAZING conversation... thanks so much for posting, I really enjoyed this
Cool convo, it was on the 1!!!!!!
i want those glasses
I agree with you wholeheartedly about Bernie, love him on the moog, and love you too, Bootsy!
7:18 he mentions Bernie.
The keyboard master and legend!!!!!
So this is what Theo Huxtable was talking about, when he said " jamming on the one".
who in the hell gave this a "thumbs down"?
Non fans of Pfunk.
Lil Wayne fans
Sir Nose
thats funkier than nine cans of shaving powder
"one" nation
LOL @ Play it on the one !
I ran into Bernie at Rickel's on rt 22 in Watchung NJ back in the 90's!. My son Jensen
Bernie Worrell...Ok...since Bootsy let the whole mug out of the bag, I will give up funk...Truth is, on AquaBoogie...I only dance to piano section. So, it would look off beat but always right on the one~~ Now where you get your funk from? I got mine from Bernie!~~
Dudes and dudettes.... in the world of musicians Bernie "Woo" Worrell made his mark! The people who don't know about Bernie, really don't deserve to know. So, it all evens out.
There’s a piece of me in every record you hear. - JB
Nice Memorymoog synth behind him.
B O O T S Y 4 L I F E !! 5 21.
I wants them glasses
Yo, Bootsy ! I wanna know what were you guys thinking when you composed SirNose D'voidoffunk?? You should do a small documentary that strange tune that we all love !
There were some great 1970's funk bands but nobody did it like P/Funk !
what a legend
@fonkfiend I am glad you enjoyed it.
On the one is unequivocally the most intoxicating and habit forming beat in music!
Holy crap can you imagine being a fly on the wall of that P Funk bus? In addition to seeing quadruple microdots, had to be as fun as the merry prankster bus!
im 18 pops put me on shout out to my pops love u big kev aka kevy boi IE sb
I worship Bernie, really. But Stevie was doing this synth bass stuff in the early 70s. Listen to "Superwoman", "Creepin", "All Day Sucker", or "Too High". I'm not sure who was doing it as funky before Stevie.
Play it on the one ! LOL !
Wish I could have been on that bus :D
Man! What a ride it had to be. Funk on 4ever!!! 1love
Memorymoog
Bernie's parts in Bootsy music is very idiosyncratic. Dude had a great ear.
Bootsy is 2Chainz dad
A wizard at a piano
You know...
I can imagine all.the wild groupies and all the drugs that went on
Wonder how many grooves and riffs was influenced or inspired by drugs and wild sex
Eddie wrote the book on how a funkadelic guitar should sound
Bootsy, and Bernie and George insanity created the p funk sound
whats the deal with the horse on the bottom right corner haha
I was a kid when one record producer which I know told that it is extremelly difficult to play other instrument on keyboards as yoy need to know exact timing and techniques of that particular instrument. Bernie did it with ease!
Need more funk : )
2 chains sure as heck favors him and his voice a little bit
2 Chainz actually looks like him and sounds like him....Interesting
Should've seen dru down

Hank Sr. did the same thang@!! Alll round worl same song@@@
