Eric's
debut album "True To Myself" album was one of the best albums of 1996.
In 1999, this fine singer/songwriter from Milwaukee,
Wisconsin released "A Day In The Life", the exceptional follow-up,
which
spawned Eric's first major hit; a funky cover of Toto's "Georgy
Porgy" with none other than Faith Evans sharing the microphone.

and the second from late summer 1999.

Taka Boom
has been described as possessing "the range and power of a diva, the Soul of a Gospel
singer and the energy of a rocker". Norman Whitfield and George Clinton were both
impressed by this petite woman with the big voice and besides singing with
Parliament-Funkadelic and The Undisputed Truth among others, Taka's own recordings on the
Ariola-America and Mirage labels are considered Dance classics. Taka (whose older sister
is none other than Chaka Khan) today resides in London and in this in-depth interview
looks back at her interesting career and talks about her current and forthcoming
activities. You can also hear the magnificent singles she cut in 1997 with producer Joey
Negro in Real Audio format.

Bootsy
Collins

Besides
George Clinton, Bootsy Collins is probably the mobster who is best known to people outside
P-Funk circles. His rise to stardom (pun very much intended), beginning in the sixties as
James Brown's bassist, then moving on to becoming one of the key members in the P-Funk
empire (both as a musician, songwriter, and producer for Parliament/Funkadelic, and as the
leader of his own Bootsy's Rubberband) has been well covered. But who is William
"Bootsy" Collins? In this 3-part interview, which took place over the phone in
October '97, Bootsy reveals how he deals with fame, how he feels about his fans, and of
course talks about his latest album "Fresh Outta 'P' University".
