James Brown's Funky People, Pt. 3 collects more funky tracks from
Brown's early '70s People label, which included
Vicki Anderson, Hank Ballard and the Dapps,
Lyn Collins, and the Dee Felice Trio. The album opens with the hard-to-find "rock" version of
Brown's "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothin'," which was withdrawn within days of its release, and also includes a previously unreleased, undubbed version of
Fred Wesley & the J.B.s' "Blow Your Head." Rare singles such as
Sweet Charles' "Hang out & Hustle" and Beau Dollar's "Who Knows" complete this collection, which consists entirely of songs that have never appeared on CD before. ~ Heather Phares
