James Brown - Sex Machine [Live]

By 1970, most of the members of James Brown's classic 1960s band had quit his act for other opportunities. He and Bobby Byrd employed a new band that included future funk greats such as bassist Bootsy Collins, Collins' guitarist brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins and trombonist/musical director Fred Wesley. This new backing band was dubbed "The JB's", and the band made its debut on Brown's 1970 single "Get Up (I Feel Like Being Like a) Sex Machine". Although the JB's went through several lineup changes (the first in 1971), the bank remained Brown's most familiar backing band.
