"There It Is is another funk bomb, a classic, stuttering bass-heavy workout featuring that super sockin' hard emphasis on the one. Swiltering horns and Fred Thomas' bumpin' bass further enhance this track's superior groove. For all-out shake-your-bootie funk, Brown finally put out 'Talkin' Loud, Sayin' Nothin'', a wildebeest of a groove. There's more groovology with the stupendously pacey 'I'm a Greedy Man', with its twangin' guitars and James' and Bobby Byrds' funky harmonizing on the chorus. And then the anti-Nixon grooves of 'Talkin' Loud And Saying Nothing', coupled with two moving antidrug PSA's, the classic, jazzy 'King Heroin' and the harrowing 'Public Enemy #1'. This record offers surprises while sounding more classic than dated."

James Brown, live on Soul Train, America's leading TV showcase for soul, funk and R&B. By 1973, James Brown was known as "the Godfather of Soul", reflecting his huge influence over a new generation of black singers.

"No People Records collection would be complete without a contribution from the Godfather of Soul himself. 'Escape-Ism' is 70s-era James Brown at his finest, supposedly written to kill time while he and The JBs waited for Bobby Byrd to arrive at their studio. A winding, two-part funk/soul epic, spanning both-sides of the single, the track reached #6 in the Billboard R&B charts, #25 in the pop charts, and would later be sampled by The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Big Daddy Kane. It's now presented here for the first time in over 30 years, in its original 7" single format."
