Papa's Got a Brand New Bag

It was like a greatest hit.

Papa's Got a Brand New Bag.

All that stuff.

I mean, just like so many great records.

Okay.

Because the original song is Papa's Got a Brand New Bag from James Brown.

So it's a derivation of the song.

So I don't know.

And in his autobiography, James says, "Out of Sight was another beginning musically and professionally.

My music changed with Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, but it really started with Out of Sight." Now let's listen to Papa's Got a Brand New Bag the next year.

It's the same song basically, but the funk is dialed up.

Yeah.

And I would argue, like, Out of Sight is close to funk.

[laughs]

Not quite, but when we get to Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, let's listen.

It ain't no drag.

He, the Kinks, and Booker T and the MGs performed on the television show Shindig.

James Brown performed his then number 10 hit with Papa's Got a Brand New Bag.

That's our man Murph, and that's our man James Brown.
