Gonna have to keep an eye out for this one. I fear it’ll be disappointing B material but would love to be wrong.
Great early ‘70s JB tune “The Payback”

James Brown was my main man. Saw him countless times from the late ‘70s through the early 2000s. One night he pulled me up onstage and let me do my James Brown dance during his show.
Politically he was pretty conservative. He endorsed Nixon in ‘72, loved Ronald Reagan and said he was the most intelligent US President ever, and recorded songs like “America Is My Home” and of course, “Living in America.” He believed in pulling oneself up by their own bootstraps.
One of my favorite James Brown songs of all time is “I Don’t Want Nobody to Give Me Nothin’ Open Up The Door and I’ll Get It Myself.”
I guess they finally listened to James when he said to, “get up offa that thing!” and decided to finally get off their butts and publish it.
