March 7, 1970: Soul star James Brown is annoyed with his band’s performance and fires them all. He asks his manager to get a Cincinnati soul band to substitute. Soon teen bassist Bootsy Collins of Cincinnati, his guitarist brother Catfish and others are Brown’s new band, leading to a glorious funk period that produced “Get Up I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine,” “Super Bad” and “Give It Up Or Turnit a Loose.”
