The intro of this song gives you just enough time to get on the dance floor. Put down that drink and whatever you're eating and get up offa that thang!!!
skittlesareyum: This is a dance song. James Brown largely did soul/funk that was for dancing. If you want to hear him really sing something just for listening there are any number of songs on the Black Caesar soundtrack album, most notably Down and Out in New York City. It breaks my heart every time I hear it.
I listened to this song twice .I'm never listening to it again. It was great at first, but then when literally the same 3 lines are repeated for 6 minutes it unbearable.
My white music teacher told me the way you determine good music is its ability to transcend the era in which it originated and impact future generations. James Brown's music is as FUNKY FRESH today in 2012 as when it was first recorded. AND it appealed, in its day as well as today, to a broad audience of listeners. James was truly "superbad". Good Lord rest his soul even though his music will never die.
HRH James Brown, the greatest entertainer of the 20th century. A one of a kind artist, vocalist, arranger, musician, prolific composer, innovator, funkmeister, grandfather of polyrhythm, dancer, unique. His catalogue speaks for itself. Only once in a lifetime-HRH James Brown!!!krxn11
@mrarbiter200 Michael Jackson was hardly a great singer and obviously you don't listen to WILSON PICKETT .... probably the greatest soul singer of all time . MJ was a pop entertainer , don't get confused ....
I had not heard this song in at least thirty years and today it just popped into my mind. All day long I was singing it to myself. Happy now cause I guess I'd just spent too much time on my thang!
If you had to come here because of a Super Bowl commercial then you have a very pitiful knowledge of music.

@JaBiTiCaR maybe it has something to do with him being dead?
and if you are reffering to recent performances,
HE WAS 70+!!! and he was still better and bringing more energy then some stupid performers who are 20!
i agree he was better in his youth but who isnt?
i think the fact that he performed till his death shows his passion for music!
