    It's an incredible tune - written by James Brown and played by the JB's. Outstanding vocal performance by Lyn!. Check out some more James Brown! The Payback, Talking Loud, Saying Nothing, Papa Don't Take No Mess, Soul Power, can't go wrong!

    Back in 1988 we used to go to our local club were the DJ would play Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock "It Takes 2" followed by this original, and he would do that all night (play the hip hop track followed by their original track it was sampled from). I rushed out and bought all that stuff and still have it all on great sounding vinyl. In the mid to late 60s James Brown's manager at the time (I believe it was Christopher White) said that when JB was first doing funk stuff that it was all to strange for mass pop appeal. Alot of the JB singers like Lyn Collins, Marva Whitney, Bobby Byrd, Vicki Anderson not to mention the classic rock & roll singer Hank Ballard all recorded outstanding funk tracks like this, and so many are samples in the hip hop culture from the 80s onwards. This was my kind of music growing up and I was born 20 years to late when this stuff was a whole new type of music. It still sounds fresh to my ear so please do more James Brown's Funky People stuff Asia and BJ. Your just scratching the surface of the amount of underground stuff that was done in the late 60s and early 70s. Peace.
