Recorded by James Brown and members of the J.B.'s during the prolific 1971–1975 period that produced many of Brown's most influential funk recordings. The track was co-written by James Brown, Fred Wesley and St. Clair Pinckney and remained unreleased during the original sessions. Although not issued at the time of recording, the track reflects Brown's fully developed mid-1970s funk style, built around tightly interlocking rhythms, horn arrangements and extended grooves. It documents a productive creative period that yielded numerous landmark recordings.
