DOING IT TO DEATH * FRED WESLEY & THE J. B. 'S * PEOPLE 621 * USA

With a Funky introduction and rap from James Brown, which from the start focuses on trombonist Fred Wesley and his 'bone', and his exultation to "take 'em higher", followed by a scorching trombone solo from Wesley, that makes Doing It To Death a killer even by James Brown standards.
