Take em down to HQ Bobby.

"Headquarters" by Bobby Byrd was written, arranged and produced by Blowfly aka Clarence Reid; the arrangement could easily be a Clarence Reid-Alston/Glades/TK Records single; Blowfly states that James Brown was reportedly not pleased with Byrd having a regional hit that was not written or produced by Brown. This is a rare piece of historical soul-funk, I had been wanting to hear this song ever since Blowfly told me about it.. Blowfly also wrote and produced Big Maybelle, Jackie Moore and others.

@psy0nyd3 Copyright law protects the musical notes and lyrics, not the recording itself. That's why two Beatles got sued and had to pay royalties or some kind of compensation, back in '69 and '70-something (John Lennon for Come Together, Chuck Berry's music publisher sued for the 'flat top' line; George Harrison for My Sweet Lord, who stole almost note for note He's So Fine, a huge song, which is why it's baffling why he or anyone around him didn't realize it).

@phillydisco You're right. I was knocked off my feet when I noticed "The Grunt" by The JBs sounded like The Isley Brothers' "Keep On Doing" song that came out around the same time!

why does ever legend have to be gone :(
-
RIP Bobby. Another dead legend. Peace.
-
most likely not. no1 cared enough back then, see back then people made music to make music, to be artists, not like a lot of people today
-
I noticed only white artists (or their lawyers) tended to sue. A lot of black artists borrowed stuff off each other, and there might have been a little annoyance, but no lawsuits.
-
@phillydisco you cant get in trouble for that - look at vanilla ice. You'd only get in trouble for stealing the recording, if thats what he did.

For The Love Of Money was released in 1973. This track was recorded and/or released in 1974 or '75.

I wonder if Byrd got in trouble for this track sounding a little too much like For The Love of Money?
