"Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" #15 8/8/1970

James Brown was maybe the only act at the time who could use the word “sex” in a song title and get away with it. My, how quaint. He had just fired most of his band (not the first or last time that happened) and hired new guys, including Bootsy Collins on bass. Bootsy, of course, went on to be part of the whole Parliament/Funkadelic thing. JB sort of lifted “shake your moneymaker” at the end of Part II from an Elmore James song and didn’t compensate the dude. Uh-huh. Can I take ‘em to the bridge?
