Bootsy: James Brown became a father figure

Legendary bass player Bootsy Collins has released his first album in six years at the age of 66.

Bootsy's big break came in 1970 when he was hired to play in James Brown's backing band The J.B.'s.

He told The World Tonight about learning discipline from working with James Brown.
