I meant to say 'the 1971 Blues & Pants'. Had to correct myself before Ike noticed it and pounced on the mistake!

Nope, I was gonna let it go this time. Just this one time though! Ha ha ha!

The thing is, you in the States USUALLY got the releases some time before us. USA Good Foot LP edition is 1972, ours is 1973. The 45 of "Ants In My Pants" came out USA in '72. We got it '73, but since he recorded it in '71, that's what I listed for it...

@Buckeyecat2002 actually fela didnt commercialize james brown sound...james is on the one like he dont wanna be any where else...fela and afrobeat is more of an of the one groove......basically FUNK is a sweater that is on you and AFROBEAT is blanket that covers you.....another difference is the drumming clyde was funky as a mother but he mainly kept time felas drummer tony allen kept time but he played behind the music not on top of it.....

@DerKosmonaut77 I've been tryin' to find it too at least on YouTube. I have the cassette that I bought in the mid 1990s. I had a heard a college radio station play this and a few other instrumnentals in a row back in 1990 one being James Brown song and the other Maceo and All The Kings Men. The beat and congas remind of "Soul Sacrifice" by Santana from the way it starts out.

@PaulDA2000 -This song was recorded around the time when James Brown appeared in the former Zaire (now, Congo), Central Africa, for the Muhammad Ali-Forman fight concert. He was said to be amazed that African musicians were infusing their music with James Brown influences. The late Fela Kuti, Nigeria, was most succesful at commercializing the "Afro Beat (Africanized James Brown Sound)." .Also check out "The Osaka Monaurail" for the Japanese interpolation of the James Brown sound.

I was raised on the Payback album,it is a funk bomb!This song shows how Browns band could keep reinventing funk,like Muddy Waters band did with blues.James was like the Muddy Waters or Howlin Wolf of Soul/funk.Just like the people who played in both their bands became legends in blues,Browns band members became funk legends,Maceo,Bootsy,ect.

Love the funk have the mint vinyl lp also the thailand twelve inch very funky.Maybe someone can put up the tribute to dj's track from the promo damn right i am somebody lp.Don't think it's on you tube.

This instrumental smokes from start to finish, and it borrows the horn riff, with a little bit of a difference, from the 1972 'Blues & Pants'. I love the bridge also, very well done. My favorite part is Maceo ( who I'm not a gigantic fan of) from 6:52 to 7:10. Mr. Brown's 'African' sounds during that part is unintentionally hilarious! Great mix Ike!

Very humerrous the way they try to talk like Africans, I guess in a tribe? But it actually sounds fantastic. the JBs played this live a a show in Hartford, CT in 1974, and maybe at the Apollo shows that same year, I was at both (or to be precise, I was at one show in Hartford and 14 shows at the Apollo!)
