Get Up Offa That Thing

James Brown All songs A–Z

James Brown wrote and performed this two-part single released in 1976. The song achieved significant chart success, reaching number four on the R&B chart and number forty-five on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Brown's return to the top ten after a year away. It became his most successful hit during the late 1970s. Due to tax issues with the IRS, Brown attributed the songwriting credit to his wife and daughters instead of himself.
