Episode #12 (season 2, episode 4): “Bootsy Collins”
Debut date: FRIDAY, NOV. 23 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT)
One of music’s most notable bassists, Bootsy Collins went from rocking out in Ohio to working with the notorious James Brown, who taught him “The One” funk basics. But it was when Bootsy met George Clinton that he created his larger-than-life persona and became the backbone of the P-Funk empire. As the frontman of Bootsy’s Rubber Band, he quickly achieved solo stardom before realizing that what he loved most about music was the joy of just being part of a group.

Episode #13 (season 2, episode 5): “James Brown (Part 1)”
Debut date: FRIDAY, NOV. 30 (10:00-10:30 p.m.)
A lover of shotguns, gumbo and traveling to gigs on his private jet, James Brown – nicknamed “Mr. Dynamite” – was renowned for his infectious voice and unbelievable dance moves, earning a reputation as the hardest-working man in show business. Between his womanizing ways, perfectionist attitude and daredevil style, he built an empire that went far beyond entertaining, often alienating musicians and business partners along the way. With hit singles like “Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud,” Brown reached new heights within the black community in the tumultuous 1960s, catching the attention of the FBI along the way.
