Bobby Byrd has been recognized as one of the most important, yet unsung, founders of Funk music. He was the actual founder of The Flames and is credited with the discovery of James Brown. Everyone who knows James Brown knows the voice of Bobby Byrd. His voice can be recognized in many James Brown tunes like "Sex Machine", where James Brown sings 'Get up" and Bobby Byrd sings "Get on up", call and response. Read mor about him on Wikipedia. I tried to find the line-up for this album but neither Discogs nor Allmusic had the information for me.. I recognize Fred Wesley on trombone and Maceo parker on sax. It could be Bootsy Collins on bass and Phelps "Catfish" Collins on guitar? Here's the title track:
