One of his best songs in. The sixties.

[@Unfamous_Buddha]

My favorite JB song.

[@olskolsoul62]

The Congo player is killing it.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

This was *the first JB record with Pee wee* who start in the direction of the band on February of 1966. "Bring it up" had a more syncopated drumbeat", but here is listening *one of the earliest chicken funky guitar strums by Jimmy Nolen* .

Too damn funky James Brown was God's gift to the world a real bad ass

[@bartleywalton1888]

Not one of his memorable hits but the groove will be there forever

[@Unfamous_Buddha]

It's my favorite of all his songs (or at least the ones played on Philly soul-radio stations in the 60s).

[@ronaldlwhitaker3458]

Yeah one of my favorite JB tunes.

[@belartful]

Probably one of his best,although not as well known..

[@Azner101]

This type of funk and soul should be illegal. JB knows how to blend music into a strong powerful message to make you move.
