In 1972, Catfish and the rest of the JB's joined Funkadelic. In 1976, Catfish joined Bootsy's Rubber String Band, which included Waddy, Joel "Razor Sharp" Johnson (keyboards), Gary "Muddbone" Cooper (drums), and Robert "P-Nut" Johnson (vocals), along with The Horny Horns. Catfish has also played on albums by Deee-Lite, Freekbass , and H-Bomb .
