JAMES BROWN - SUPER BAD (KING 1971) Jap mastering cardboard sleeve




Super Bad (the song) originally released as a three-part single & it went to number one on the soul singles chart and number 13 on the Hot 100. The song's lyrics include the refrain "I've got soul and I'm super bad." The positive use of the word "bad" is an example of linguistic reappropriation, which Brown had done before in "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud".
The song includes a tenor saxophone solo by Robert McCollough, during which Brown yells "Blow me some Trane, brother!"
.......................
James Brown re-recorded "Super Bad" for this 1971 album of the same name.
