FUNKY DRUMMER (BONUS BEAT REPRISE)

Created on 13/06/2001
Latest update on 03/11/2023

Artist: James Brown
Author: James Brown
Label: Polydor
Year: 1970

With Clyde Stubblefield on drums. The part following 5'18" in bonus track on James Brown double album In The Jungle Groove (1986). Clyde claimed a percentage for this contribution but had no legal ground. Maybe JB ordered him to play like that and also: if it wouldn't have been on a JB record, no one would have noticed it in the first place.
