Funk Power 1970: A Brand New Thang – James BrownView More By James Brown Our ReviewJames Brown hated losing control. So when dissension in his band’s ranks threatened his then never-ending tour, he recalled a group of kids who’d worked sessions he’d produced for members of the revue. Called into service within hours, the new, stripped-down outfit Brown dubbed the J.B.’s — among them brothers Bootsy (bass) and Catfish (guitar) Collins and saxophonist Robert McCulloch — was soon putting its own mark on the funk. Their first shot, “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine,” ended up as one of Brown’s signature pieces, heard in two distinct versions on Funk Power 1970: A Brand New Thing, a chronicle of one key year in his history. Brown exhorts a squalling McCulloch to “Blow me some Trane, brother!” on the massive statement of ego and soul that is “Super Bad” (heard here in its full-force nine-minute take), while other glowing proofs of the man’s theories (the remake of “Give It Up or Turnit a Loose,” “Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved” and the previously unreleased “I Got to Move,” a twist on “There Was a Time”) further nail down this group’s reputation..
