The JB's-The Grunt

[quasimoto270]

yes the rhythm the rebel without a pause, i'm lowering my level

[mikowcs]

FUNKY

[3kingkool]

That opening sax scream by Maceo Parker is one the stankest sounds in rock history. It has no peer anywhere. From about 2:21 to the end of the song Bootsy Collins lets everybody he's here to play!

[3kingkool]

Maceo Parker and Bootsy Collins owned this song. The opening sax scream is without peer in rock music. Starting at about 2:22 and for the rest of the song, Bootsy let's us know he's in the house!

[pintosound]

wow

[therealbrooksie]

pe and bep are the first things i think about when i hear this shit

[antav9]

Funky horns !!

[Meowsaidthekitty]

Rebel without a pause, Soul brother # 1

[albinowolf2]

This song shows the link between JB and P-Funk! It is the sheet!

[newsmanbluesman]

This is not the mix as heard on vinyl. Guitar was up and piano almost gone - which wroked since the bitch is not in tune. Can someone supply the other deal? I recall it fades out in time. Great to hear this again. Plus it's an Isleys tune, right?

[kolossol1]

0:56 - chills in my bloodstream!!!

[TheTEDDYSTONE]

@kolossol1 OH YEAH OLD  HEADZ TO DA FLOOR

[hgbuybubu]

can not get enough of this !!!



[VBaskin2010]

Night Of The Living BASE!Heads!

[TheWoud]

What a wonderful mix of Jazz and Funk! Love it!

[chuckdandy]

by this i measure your soul. do you have one or not???

[Sysaphys]

I dare you to NOT nod your head while listening to this, I don't think its humanly possible.

[Pawcio28PL]

Sonic vs Omar !!!

[Buckeyecat2002]

The Grunt is an instrumental version of " Keep On Doing," by the Isley's. Marva Whitney's "It's My Thing" is an answer song to The Isley's It's Your Thing. James Brown's "Shout and Shimy" was a rip off of the Isley's "Shout."

[c2daj2dat]

PUBLIC ENEMY!!!! NATION OF MILLIONS!!!!!

[oliverecords]

Ahh some funk in the night.

[keyzitis]

I'm listening to a lot of instrumentals tonight, and this song, now that I listen, was sampled on Magic Mike's, "Yo!" and Vanessa Willams's Running Back To You! Another rap song I can think of, seem like Public Enemy,

[smoothie6ft3]

This is an instramental version of the Isley Brothers 'Keep On Doin" from their 1970 album "Get Into Something".James remixed it a bit and put extra STANK on it.

[davey0110]

Thank you phish forum for turning me onto the nonstop greatness that is the JBs. I have known about this group for 1 minute and 29 seconds, but this is my new favorite band

[oskamadison]

45 King "Simply Dope, pt 2"

[Binndaify]

Anybody heard the Kashmere Stage Band version of this? Can anyone remember what it was called - I think it went under a different name than "The Grunt". Pretty sure its on "Texas Thunder Soul 74' "but not all the tracks are on Youtube and i cant find my CD!

[broadmat70]

[gmorton1000]

This song is nothing short of badass

[darxyde00]

Yes I know they sampled James like everyone else but, every time i hear this song I think about PE's Night of The Living Baseheads & Rebel Without A Pause.

[TheSaxman72]

[Datathief100]

@ericdlayne Plus "night of the living bassheads", also "terminator x to the edge of panic" uses the same "rebel" sample but in reverse. I love Public Enemy... Great to finaly hear where they ripped those funky samples from.

Black eyed peas - holiday

[Zervic]

@maxc16 This song is a blatant ripoff of Keep On Doin' by the Isley Brothers.

[ezeroh1]

damn i love the drumming in the song reminds me of a slam dunk when the glass breaks hardest hittin funk youll probably ever hear ima smoke one to the funk gods peace love and funkiness

[jwh1999]

Public Enemy!!!!! Yes The Bomb Squad did justice to this song!!

[pbpeterson12]

This shit go hard. Raw gangster funk

[phillydisco]

This is actually a remake of an Isley Brothers track called Keep on Doin'. Instrumentally, though, it's funkier, but everything is the same musically.

[mrbunghole]

Black Eyed Peas "Labor Day"

[ManiacSerialKilleR]

this song was sampled in one of Public enemys tracks

[leifa1]

Way more than one...

[eunomi]

This is the greatest funk instrumental ever.

[kolisionn]

wu tang sampled this on protect ya neck II

[Mercurio260681]

Switchin' to FUNK mode baby!!!!!!!!! :)

[ewalton2477]

PE sampled the ish out of this one song.... (Don't Believe The Hype, Night of the Living Baseheads, Rebel Without a Pause)

[johnclavis]

First 1:30 of this track contains 200% more booty-shaking soylent funk than most 10 other songs...

This track must annoy musicians -- they'd say something like, "Hey, guys, let's record the funkiest track EVER!", and their bandmates would reply, "What about the J.B.'s "Grunt"?" And they'd be like, "Oh, yeah, forgot about that. Guess we'll have to do something else..."

LOL... thanks for posting it!

[GStrongRAW]

LMAO....U have a legit argument brotha!! Ur welcome.

[CheeseBread67]

No he doesnt, hes a douch

[3927Peter]

Damn straight, LMAO

[TheRealSoulfulDude]

@johnclavis id say the first 3:32 of this track contains 200% more booty shaking soylent funk ;-)

[funkyfox63]

@johnclavis It;s not as Funky as Soul Power. No that is a record to get down to.

[kenfar7]

@johnclavis No Doubt!
