[ohsnapiam59]

[FegalTube]

Cool without evening trying that hard. Doctors should prescribe this to the depressed ;-)

[robe972]

[dixielatino]

the funky horns of maceo, no one has top this style in 40 something years or more , but they all love to sample this .

[knoxxville499]

1:55 isn't that from JLo's song? or it just sounded like it

[cheeks33]

i have GTA San Andreas to thank for getting me into this genre of music

[justdoitasshole]

4 people need to stick to Justin Bubbles and Lady Ding-Dong.

This is way too dangerous for them...

[phukubeeyotch]

@justdoitasshole LMAO YOU AINT NEVER LIED!

[TheDan98]

This musics, no have cash how pay.

[Parrock1]

Used by Spoonie G for The Godfather

[Erks3000]

SAN ANDREAS BROUGHT ME HERE. And the love of real music.

:)

[yumfluff]

And that when Bootsy Collins kicked The Funk right over the edge.

[JoeyJonesIsASexGod]

why have you sped it up?

[TheIcejay12]

I love James Brown But it's hard to find Cd's and DVD's around here. The way it's to watch here on youtube

[smdelorme4]

guess it was a bootsy groove through and through...the godfather has a great version of this song.

[Rzywy]

Jennifer Lopez sampled it (1:53) in "Get Right" song

[noisyexistence]

it's too funky, we gotta stop right here!

[atalaya1980]

One of my favourite recordings when i started

the evening/nights as a DJ in Amsterdam-Netherlands

and it still gives me goose-bumps when i hear this-one!!!!!

[Dokholiday787]

Public Enemy Chuck D, Schooly D, sampled this track in songs. paying homage!! love it! funky as hell!

[terrance203]

All you can say is funkyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[mosewax]

[sheiffa]

after listening to hundreds of funky recordings I still come to conclusion it's one of the best ever! Such a classic.

[atalaya1980]

@sheiffa You're absolutely spot on !!!!!!

Listen to James Brown"Give it up or turn it a loose"

The "Jungle groove mix" and you know what I'm

talking about!!!!! FUNK ALL THE WAY!!!!

[JScarper]

[RobbyGP1]

incredible, if u can't feel the funk, then something's wrong, cuz the funk waves emitting are enough to cure cancer

[jazzbuff630]

Junior High School. Dancing with Denise Walker at a party, and getting laughed at, because I was the only dude in the 'hood that couldn't dance.

[ranikade3]

So many great lines but my favorite has to be 2:49-2:58

[420LaYzIe420]

This makes me wanna rob the Caligula's casino with Zero and Woozie.

[hadezxs]

The real deal!

[TheMrrick58]

Maceo was the bomb on Saxophone and Bootsy blew up the bass !!! These guys knew how to liven up a sad joint !! Amen Maceo and Bootsy!!!!

[DVL32]

Redman- "I'm Reggie Noble".

[JoeStrummerAlive]

thumbs up if you listened this on GTA: San Andreas ;-)

[illspiritual]

Whoever disliked this is just a fucking toolbag, plain and simple.

[ReoTheYokel]

@illspiritual Dude, who gives a shit, their loss.

[ReoTheYokel]

@illspiritual Dude, who gives a shit, their loss. Yeah, it's sad there are people (trolls, probably) who dislike this and similar songs, but why does everyone have to bring it up?

[chisus666]

[deniseandread]

[goglo614]

[SeanElGatoTelevision]

This is really JB's 1971 hit "Soul Power" with new horn and percussion parts overdubbed onto the original instrumental track.

[macloni]

[leehurst]

IT DON'T GET NO FUNKIER THAN THIS!!

[cartoonist1975]

[ggn1]

@cartoonist1975 Janelle Monae

[Ganqes]

Redman and & Jlo has used this as sample

[DLuxPNW]

Don't get any better. Maceo found some funk potion or something.... That tone! Played with James Brown, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, De La Soul, And Prince baddest sax EVER!!!

[kic1222]

Classic! 

[zooyork3502]

i'am happy to say i saw james brown in concert , in the end of the 90's and maceo there is 2 years ago , then it's very difficult to see another artiste in live , trust me !!!

today : it's difficult to support all the bad music we listen everyday , i hope it' will change and people will ask for some real music , in this way the major will produce real artiste , real music band , i hope !!!

[jimineedles]

maceo was the only one of JB's musicians he didn't fine!!! maceo the pro lmao!!!

[dq9]

This is a minor second higher than the original recording.

[jody808]

this must have been when JB was running out of funk, rereleasing a single and putting down new solos on it

[polishblacksoul]

Awesome!!

[MrFREDWILLIAMSON]

[TonyAirlines]

Some guy moaning in the background at 1:25

[vbierry]

[ricmunchez]

jennifer lopez song "get right" 1:55 its similar

[PRDublin]

Yes she sampled it from this song.

[AudreyFaithHill]

the horn sample was used from this song

[SlickFunker]

@AudreyFaithHill

Chill Rob G used part of this, at 2.06, for his tremendous track Court Is Now In Session. It was also used on a song American Express, which, I think, was recorded by Howie T.

This track is red freakin' hot funk.

[jlosbabyboy]

@ricmunchez

Cause Jennifer sampled it

[Buddybigone]

Bootsy Collins on the bass.

[Pedro1985]

@Buddybigone

yeah nobody can do this better than Bootsy.

[debgirl12000]

@Buddybigone >Once again, the reason why I miss my growing up years in the 70's! I remember dancing to this at many house party's in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Long Island where I grew up! Musis stinks now as far as I cam concerned! Bootsy Colins, Maceo Parker and Bobby Byrd were the bomb with James Brown and his band back in the day! YOu don't get any better than this!

[ivansetux]

shit,, great solo

[avp0713]

I've been playing this song on my sax since 1974, played with various funk bands that always played this song. Funky as hell.

[SidneyTurner]

You play the sax and you have been in a load of funk bands.........You are made of cool hahahaha!

[xfunkster]

For every minute I've danced to this song as a teenager I've sat groovin' with my head bobbin' and a smile on my face 100 times in my adult years.... and that's a lot of minutes!

[avp0713]

. . . and I've been playing this song on sax since '74, what a fantastic funky song that never gets old.

[xfunkster]

Nope. It never does.

[PRDublin]

I know what you mean I'm exactly the same.

[avp0713]

@ebntje

"Open Up the Door, I'll Get It Myself" . . . . which was basically an excerpt from an earlier JB song called "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nuthin, Open Up the Door, I'll Get it Myself"

[Tr0llsNeverDie]

this the shit to drive around in

[teokas80]

[XANXOXful]

[JazzHopperMusic]

Redman Rated 'R'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmesq1]

The winter of '73-'74, my senior year in high school. I can't even count the number of house parties where this was played and everyone would get on the floor and just jam. Great music, great memories and great post! Thank you.

[simplemotions5]
