Clinton added musical powerhouses to his funk band, including many members of James Brown's band "The JB's". Among them were Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, and bassist William "Bootsy" Collins. Bootsy's style of bass playing was very unique. Not only was he a slap bassist, he also used a synthesizer to create a sound called "the space bass", which would be used in disco and other music. The funk mob would continue through the 70's and 80's, bringing the P-Funk with songs like Flashlight, Not Just Knee Deep, One Nation Under A Groove, P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up), and Tear The Roof Off The Sucker (Give Up The Funk), and many, many more, including Clinton's 1982 release "Atomic Dog" which is still a club favorite to date.
