She's The One

James Brown · 1970
Recording

Recorded in 1970 during the sessions for the Sex Machine era of James Brown's career, featuring Brown's revamped band with Bootsy Collins and Catfish Collins. The track was released as part of Brown's prolific early-1970s run on King Records and showcased the stripped-down rhythmic approach that defined his mature funk sound. The record exemplified Brown's transition from soul-based arrangements toward groove-driven funk, emphasizing interlocking rhythms and tightly controlled band dynamics. It reinforced the template that would become foundational for countless funk recordings throughout the decade. The track became a favored source for DJs, collectors and hip-hop producers seeking classic James Brown drum and rhythm-section performances. Its groove-oriented structure contributed to Brown's enduring influence on funk, rap and breakbeat culture.
