Just heard the end of a James Brown track on TV I'd never heard before.
He's hollering something like the below:

"Need the feeling"
"Got to have the feeling"
"Help me band"
"I need some help"

...with heavy horn hits going on in the instrumentation.

Anyone able to tell me what this might be?

Cheers!

Recording/production sounds circa late 60's...

Sorry, can't help you.

It's not "I Got The Feelin" ??

Like searching for a needle in a haystack..

Those are common exchanges and phrases used by JB with his bands and not mention the heavily horn laden songs, what's the tempo of the song? was it used in a movie, or TV ad? ..

Sounds like GiveItUpTurnItALoose

Nope.

FYI I have:
Star Time Box (minus disc 4 so it could be on that)
Slaughters Big Rip Off
Payback
Black Caesar
Get On the Good Foot
Motherload
Reality
Hell


It's not on any of those (except possibly disc 4 of Star Time)

It's quite uptempo from what I can recall of last night. I'd say up around "I got the feelin".

I heard it in the backround on our local TV guide channel, so it wasn't any ad, movie or TV show unfortunately. Was a pleasant surprise as it's usually garbage!

The part I heard was the end and it was a 1 bar horn riff consisting of just 2 different chord stabs repeating over and over.

The hits were quite strong and powerful, so it may have been five, six horns or more which makes me think it's prob from the 60's as he seemed to work with bigger horn sections in that era rather than the 70's....

I could be wrong though!
Tried to pull out my macbook and record a snippet but it ended too quick doh!!!

It was quite sparse from what I could hear outta the shitty lil TV speaker.
Sounded like just the drums, bass and the 2 chord stabs without anything else noticable going on (of course there could've been some dinky lil guitar or somethin but nothin really leading except the horns).
No other lead instruments or solos going on in the 1 minute snippet I heard.
Was quite distinctive how it had just the 2, chord hits endlessly repeating....

On Star Time disc 4, these are the songs that I'm not sure I know:

1. There It Is
4. I Got a Bag of My Own
11. Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved)
13. Body Heat
14. It's Too Funky in Here
15. Rapp Payback (Where Iz Moses?)
16. Unity, Pt. 1: The Third Coming

But like I said before, I feel it is from mid late sixties or possibly earlier due to the sound and the production....

If so, then no it's much more sparse than that.

nd33 said:

What do you mean by more sparse?

Is it It's a new day?

MrSoulpower said:

Has to be or Brother Rapp?

nightandday said:

yup...like i stated early

funkpill said:

Nope, not the live version of "give it up"...

I'm 95% sure it was a studio recording.

It's a really simple 2 chord horn stabs. No melody as such just hit 1 and hit 2 from the horns! Repeated every bar.
Hmmm this is tougher than I thought

Haven't found these yet....
Any links?

You just described nearly EVERY James Brown song.

The lyrics aren't enough to guess what it is. Most James Brown joints after 1967 had those same lyrics, mayne.

nd33 said:

dang!!!


i'm curious now

OK, I think I know what it is.

Is it "Get It Together"

Nah it ain't that one, I just played that one.

Dammit it ain't "Let Yourself Go" either...
