@utubeissad I noticed his paranoia and eventual plagiarizing started some time after the death of his son Teddy. I wouldn't be surprised if it played a part in that state of mind.

@phillydisco Phillydisco is correct. Fred Wesley's mentioned in print many times that by 1975, James Brown hit a wall. He was so busy being upset and jealous at the new wave of funk groups coming up, he couldn't distinguish between someone being "influenced" by him or "stealing" from him. Wesley says that JB thought everyone was "stealing" as opposed to being "influenced" by him. Future Shock in a way shows how desperate he was using his records ALL the time. Yes, it's his show, but damn! :-)

@rmiles01 We even have running water and indoor plumbing. So there!



Not plagiarized, the groove was written by the guitar player who was playing for both James and David at the same time. He showed them both the riff and they both made songs out of it before either was released.

Unfortunately, James Brown was taking other peoples grooves in the mid 70s because he felt they had ripped him off. Skin Tight by Ohio Players became Makin Love by The JBs, Express by BT Express became Monaurail by JBs, Disco Baby by Van McCoy became Hustling by Hustlers, but on later pressings James put the correct credits probably because he got in trouble, so you'll see 'Disco Baby' by The Hustlers as well.
Alomar says James Brown played the finished recording in front of him and Bowie.
