James Brown performed this funk composition, which he co-wrote with bandleader Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis in 1968. Released as a two-part single, it dominated the R&B singles chart for six consecutive weeks at number one and reached number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. The track appeared on both Brown's 1968 album "A Soulful Christmas" and his 1969 self-titled album, eventually becoming an informal rallying cry for the Black Power movement.
