It would not be an understatement to say that all the funk drummers of the ’70s, and later, got their first inspiration from listening to the drummers of James Brown. From the mid-’50s, JB’s records had always placed high in the R&B charts, but it wasn’t until this song (which went to # 24 on the pop charts in 1964), that the rest of us caught up. Brown’s musical arrangements (and what his drummers did) presaged funk music by five years.
