Product Description
James Brown had several incredibly talented "funky divas" in his late 60s and early 70s stable, including Vicki Anderson and Marva Whitney. But as great as those two powerhouse singers were, Lyn Collins was the strongest hit maker of that funky JB era. Her strong voice and commanding stage presence - which earned her the nicknames "The Female Preacher" and "Mama Feelgood" - quickly proved to be a potent addition to the People Records universe. In the spring of 1972 her second single, the driving and ridiculously funky "Think (About It)" hit the R & B music world like a ton of bricks. As fans young and old know, thanks to its timeless, relentless groove and powerful vocals, "Think" gained a powerful second life in the 1980s thanks to the hip-hop generation, fueling the platinum smash "It Takes Two," by Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock in 1988 and additionally sampled by dozens of hip-hop and dance music artists up to the present day. BUNDLED WITH A 22"x 22" POSTER OF THE COVER ART & BONUS 7"
