Is Sly's 'Sex Machine' the same as the song James Brown sings?


It sounds completely different - it's an instrumental, apart from "We blew your mind" at the end". I've always wondered what the connection was, if any.


There is absolutely no connection between them. Sly's "Sex Machine" is a long, slow funky blues jam while James Brown's "Get up (I feel like being a) sex machine" is an uptempo, horn driven, dancy, funk tune

Yeah, I know, but Sly obviously knew the JB track, so I've always wondered if there is some kind of reference or relationship.

Actually Sly's "Sex Machine" was released in 1968, while James Brown's "Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine" was released in 1970.

Geez! I thought he was dead, too. Kinda weird and creepy, yet awesome that he's back. Maybe he and Prince can do a collaboration.

U and me both. Prince needs some company in getting the funk back into the mainstream again and what better than Sly.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.
