Soul Stream Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Just wondering. There's so many great ones, but thought I'd throw this out and see what people's thoughts were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 COLD SWEAT and LICKIN' STICK are two that come immediately to mind - I know there are lots more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Initially, I thought of I GOT THAT FEELIN', COLD SWEAT, and SUPER BAD but after a quick visit to JB Greatest Hits I really like what's happenin underneth SAY IT LOUD and HOT PANTS Final verdict (tonight) SUPER BAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 ' I Feel Good' was an early favorite until I saw James Brown introduce 'Cold Sweat' back in 1967 at the Paris Olympia. Then there was 'I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine'... And now, Ladies and Gentlemen,! JAMES BROWN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Dye Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 "Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose" from 1970 with the Bootsy, Cheese, Clyde rhythm section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Impossible to choose..."Cold Sweat"? "Brand New Bag"? "Sex Machine"? Any of the above or the last one I listened to. Favorite drum line, though: "The Funky Drummer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolff Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 LICKIN' STICK Listened to this and "Say It Loud" a couple times last night. I was dancing all around and thinking, "What incredible bass lines". Need to add some more JB to the shelves!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Did James Brown or the JB's have a bass line that wasn't THE BEST? One of my favorites is "Blessed Blackness," just because it is so different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailman Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 How about "Soul Power?" I understand that in his book of a year or two back, Fred Wesly says that James Brown knows almost nothing about music. He sure made some great records though. And those bands were something else.

Soul Stream Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 My favorite bass player of James' was "Sweet" Charles Sherrell. Almost everytime I hear a bassline I really dig on a JB cut, it almost always is credited to Charles. He was bad, also a great singer too if you ever hear the single JB cut on him.

Kalo Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Since You've Been Gone (Bootsy) First one I thought of, too. But there are so many freakin' great ones it's hard to pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous last words... "Fred, I Love you like a brother. I can't go no further. I got to let you go" "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing" has a great "Bootsy" bassline.
