Maceo wasn't in the original J.B.'s line-up. He was among the mutiny just before JB recruited Bootsy and Phelps to form The J.B.'s. Fred Thomas, in this video on bass, was in the J.B.'s line-up after the Bootsy period, along with Fred Wesley.

The "original" J.B.'s The J.B.'s were formed in March 1970 after most of the members of Brown's previous band walked out on him over a pay dispute. (Brown's previous bands of the 1950s and 1960s had been known as The James Brown Band and The James Brown Orchestra.) The J.B.'s initial lineup included bassist William "Bootsy" Collins and his brother, guitarist Phelps "Catfish" Collins, formerly of the obscure funk band The Pacemakers; Bobby Byrd (founder of the original Famous Flames singing group) (organ), and John "Jabo" Starks (drums), both holdovers from Brown's 1960s band; three inexperienced horn players, Clayton "Chicken" Gunnells, Darryl "Hasaan" Jamison, and Robert McCollough; and conga player Johnny Griggs. This version of the J.B.'s played on some of Brown's most intense funk recordings, including "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine", "Super Bad", "Soul Power", and "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing". They also accompanied Brown on a European tour (during which they recorded the long-delayed live album Love Power Peace), performed on the Sex Machine double LP, and released two instrumental singles, the much-sampled "The Grunt" and "These Are the J.B.'s".

@@rolandbush8463 Well you can say that about any of his bands even back in the 60s. I don’t care how good the band was without James Brown in front of them they were not the attraction. I remember in 1978 when I saw James Brown at the Apollo and the next night he got arrested for some tax problem, and the band tried to carry-on without him and fans hardly came so they had to cancel the shows.

@@rolandbush8463 No band is going to be like they would be at the replaying with James Brown. He could take any band and turn them into a great band according to Fred Wesley. But I thought this band was pretty good about stopping on a dime considering Mr. Brown is not with them. And remember all of them played with Mr. Brown at one time or another.
