He later formed his own [[P-Funk]] side project known as '[[Bootsy's Rubber Band]]'.<ref>{{cite web |last=Planer |first=Lindsay |url={{AllMusic |class=album |id=r31268 |pure_url=yes}} |title=Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band – Bootsy's Rubber Band |website=AllMusic |access-date=2011-07-06}}</ref> He was a frequent collaborator with other musicians from a variety of genres, including dance music ([[Deee-Lite]]'s "[[Groove Is in the Heart]]"), electronic [[big beat]] ([[Fatboy Slim]]'s "[[Weapon of Choice (song)|Weapon of Choice]]" and "[[The Joker (Steve Miller Band song)|The Joker]]"), and [[alternative metal]] ([[Praxis (band)|Praxis]]), among others. He is a member of the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]], inducted in 1997 with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.

Although they worked for Brown for only 11 months, the original J.B.'s played on some of Brown's most intense funk recordings, including "[[Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine]]", "[[Bewildered]] (1970)", "[[Super Bad (song)|Super Bad]]", "[[Soul Power]]", "[[Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing]]", and two instrumental singles, the much-sampled "[[The Grunt]]" and "These Are the J.B.'s". In regards to his tenure working for [[James Brown]], Collins stated: {{blockquote|He treated me like a son. And being out of a fatherless home, I needed that father figure and he really played up to it. I mean, Good Lord. Every night after we played a show, he called us back to give us a lecture about how horrible we sounded. [Affects James Brown voice] "Nah, not on it, son. I didn't hear the one. You didn't give me the one." He would tell me this at every show. One night, we knew we wasn't sounding really good – we were off – and he calls us back there and said, "Uh huh, now that's what I'm talkin' about. Y'all was on it tonight. Y'all hit the one." [[Catfish Collins|My brother]] and I looked at each other like, "This mother has got to be crazy." We knew in our heart and soul that we wasn't all that on that show. So then I started figuring out his game, man. By telling me that I wasn't on it, he made me practice harder. So I just absorbed what he said and used it in a positive way.<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Kory |last=Grow |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bootsy-collins-on-what-james-brown-taught-him-why-he-quit-drugs-204108/ |title=Bootsy Collins on James Brown, George Clinton and Drugs – Rolling Stone |magazine=Rollingstone.com |date=2017-10-31 |access-date=2019-02-20}}</ref>}} After parting ways with [[James Brown]], Collins returned to Cincinnati and formed [[House Guests]] with his brother Phelps Collins, Rufus Allen, Clayton "Chicken" Gunnels, Frankie Waddy, Ronnie Greenaway and Robert McCullough. The House Guests released "What So Never the Dance" and another single on the House Guests label, as well as a third as The Sound of Vision on the House Guests label. Next Collins moved to [[Detroit]], [[Michigan]], after Philippé Wynne suggested joining [[The Spinners (American group)|The Spinners]], for whom Wynne had been singing. However, following the advice of singer and future [[Parliament (band)|Parliament]] member [[Mallia Franklin]], Collins made another choice. Franklin introduced both Collins brothers to [[George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton]], and in 1972, both of the Collins brothers, along with Waddy, joined [[Funkadelic]]. Collins played bass on most of [[Funkadelic]] and Parliament albums through the early 1980s, garnering several songwriting credits as well. In 1976 Collins, Catfish, Waddy, Joel Johnson (1953–2018), Gary "Mudbone" Cooper, Robert Johnson and [[The Horny Horns]] formed [[Bootsy's Rubber Band]], a separate touring unit of Clinton's P-Funk collective. The group recorded five albums together, the first three of which are often considered to be among the quintessential P-Funk recordings. The group's 1978 album ''[[Bootsy? Player of the Year]]'' reached the top of the R&B album chart and spawned the #1 R&B single "[[Bootzilla]]". Like Clinton, Collins took on several [[alter ego]]s, from Casper the Funky Ghost to Bootzilla, "the world's only rhinestone rockstar monster of a doll", all as parts of the evolving character of an alien rock star who grew gradually more bizarre as time went on (see [[P-Funk mythology]]). He also adopted his trademark "space bass" around this time. ===1980s–1990s=== Collins released two 1980 albums, his first "solo" album ''[[Ultra Wave]]'', and ''[[Sweat Band]]'', on George Clinton's Uncle Jam label with a group billed as Bootsy's Sweat Band. He also was credited for co-producing the debut of P-Funk spinoff [[Zapp (band)|Zapp]]. In 1984, he collaborated with [[Jerry Harrison]] of [[Talking Heads]] to produce "[[Five Minutes (Bonzo Goes to Washington song)|Five Minutes]]", a dance record sampled and edited from [[Ronald Reagan]]'s infamous "[[We begin bombing in five minutes]]" speech. The record was credited to "Bonzo goes to Washington" (also referenced in the 1985 [[Ramones]] song "[[Bonzo Goes to Bitburg]]", derived from Reagan's starring role as Professor Peter Boyd in the 1951 comedy film ''[[Bedtime for Bonzo]]''). After a nearly five-year hiatus, he had a comeback in 1988 (with some help from producer [[Bill Laswell]]). ''[[What's Bootsy Doin'?]]'' flaunted a new sound that foreshadowed the 1990s, such as the dance floor smash "Party on Plastic". Laswell introduced Collins to Herbie Hancock, resulting in ''[[Perfect Machine]]'' (1988). The techno-funk they recorded featured turntables for scratch appeal, and the smoothly-stylized vocals of [[Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner]] of chart-topping [[Ohio Players]]. These were the first of many collaborations between Laswell and Collins on many albums and projects, with the prolific producer using Bootsy mainly as a bassist but sometimes as a [[rhythm guitar]]ist.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jazztimes.com/features/lists/before-after-bill-laswell/|title=Before & After with Bassist and Producer Bill Laswell|first=Brad|last=Farberman|website=JazzTimes.com|date=April 25, 2019|access-date=October 15, 2019}}</ref> In 1988, Collins appeared as a guest artist to play bass on [[Keith Richards]] and The X-Pensive Winos album [[Talk Is Cheap|''Talk is Cheap'']].

In 1990, Collins collaborated with [[Deee-Lite]] on their biggest hit "[[Groove Is in the Heart]]", and he contributed additional vocals. Although he also appeared in the music video playing the bass, the bassline in the song is actually a sample of a [[Herbie Hancock]] song called "Bring Down the Birds". Bootsy's Rubber Band became the de facto backing musicians for Deee-Lite during a world tour. The Rubber Band also recorded the EP ''[[Jungle Bass]]'', their first recording in 11 years. In 1992, he joined with guitarist [[Stevie Salas]] and drummer [[Buddy Miles]] to form the funk-metal fusion group [[Hardware (band)|Hardware]].

Bootsy's New Rubber Band formed in 1994, releasing ''[[Blasters of the Universe]]'' and also put forth the following live release "[[Keepin' dah Funk Alive 4-1995]]", recorded over two nights in Tokyo.

The group released only one album (''[[Funkcronomicon]]''), and the song also appeared in the soundtrack of the movie ''[[Stealing Beauty]]''. He also featured on Jon B's song "Simple Melody" from his debut album, "[[Bonafide]]". Collins collaborated with [[Del McCoury]], [[Doc Watson]] and [[Mac Wiseman]] to form the [[GrooveGrass Boyz]]. They produced a fusion of [[bluegrass music|bluegrass]] and funk. ===2000s–present=== Collins provided lead vocals for the [[Fatboy Slim]] song "[[Weapon of Choice (song)|Weapon of Choice]]" from his 2000 album ''[[Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars]]''.

The song won multiple [[MTV Video Music Award]]s and a [[Grammy Award for Best Music Video]]. In 2004 Collins contributed to Christian rap artist [[TobyMac]]'s ''[[Welcome to Diverse City]]'' album, collaborating on the "Diverse City" track, a song praised as one of the best on the album.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/welcome-to-diverse-city-mw0000398308 |title=TobyMac - Welcome to Diverse City Album Reviews, Songs & More |website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> The album won the 2005 Dove Award for Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.learnreligions.com/types-of-christian-gospel-music-708423|title=The Many Types of Christian & Gospel Music|website=Learnreligion.com|access-date=May 22, 2024}}</ref> In October 2005, Collins co-wrote a song celebrating the resurgence of his hometown team, the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] of the [[National Football League]] called "Fear Da Tiger" which features "raps" written and performed by several Bengals players, including [[defensive end]] Duane Clemons, offensive tackle Stacy Andrews, and center Ben Wilkerson.

Collins appeared with Little Richard, [[Bernie Worrell]], and other notable musicians as the band playing with [[Hank Williams, Jr.]] for the ''[[Monday Night Football]]'' opening during for the 2006 season. Collins was the only all star to return with Williams for the 2007 season.

Soon after the release, Collins split from long-time friend and guitarist Odhran "The Bodhran" Rameriz, citing creative differences as the reason. Later that same year, Collins released the holiday album ''[[Christmas Is 4 Ever]]''. This represents the first Christmas-themed album made by a member of the P-Funk musical collective. The album features re-workings of Christmas standards as well as original compositions. In April 2007, Collins announced plans to open Bootsy's, a restaurant/club with Cincinnati area restaurateur Jeff Ruby. The venue operated from 2008 to 2010. It featured live musical acts, a museum dedicated to Collins's musical career and Spanish, Central and South American cuisine. In June 2007, Collins, along with [[Catfish Collins]], [[Clyde Stubblefield]], [[John "Jabo" Starks]], and [[Bernie Worrell]], participated in the recording of the soundtrack for the movie ''[[Superbad (film)|Superbad]]''. In December of that year they (without Worrell) went on to perform the first tribute concert remembering James Brown. In July 2007, Collins also told ''Billboard'' magazine that he was working on a project named [[Science Faxtion]] and an album called ''[[Living on Another Frequency]]'' in which he serves as bassist and co-producer along with his lead vocalist [[Greg Hampton]].
