In 1968 , the Collins brothers, along with Kash Waddy and Philippe Wynne , formed a group called The Pacesetters . Later the Pacesetters where hired by James Brown to accompany his vocals, at this they became known as The JB's . Some of Brown's previous band members had walked out because of money disputes. During their tenure in the JB's, they recorded such classics as " Super Bad ", " Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine ", " Soul Power ", and " Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose ". By 1972 , Collins and the rest of the JB's had quit James Brown. The Collins bothers and Kash Waddy formed the House Guests and shortly after joined Funkadelic and contributed to the Funkdelic album "America Eats It's Young". Four years later, Collins joined Bootsy's Rubber Band , which included Waddy, Joel "Razor Sharp" Johnson (keyboards), Gary "Muddbone" Cooper (drums), and Robert "P-Nut" Johnson (vocals), along with The Horny Horns . Catfish is credited with playing the most widely known rhythm guitar part in R&B with his work on the 1978 Parliament classic "Flashlight". Collins has also played on albums by Deee-Lite , Freekbass , and H-Bomb . On his early work with James Brown and Funkadelic, Catfish played a Vox Ultrasonic guitar with built-in effects.
