Get Up Offa That Thing

#105

Released on the Polydor label in 1976, this single was the highest charting hit of the late 1970s for the man sometimes called “Mr. Dynamite”, legendary soul and funk singer... James Brown.⁣
⁣
“The Hardest Working Man In Show Business”, backed by the one and only J.B.s, saw this single shoot up the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peak at #45, Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart at #4 and the Billboard National Top Disco chart at #19. ⁣
⁣
The lyrics carry a greater weight than what appears at the surface. Not only is it a calling to shake your booty... it’s a way to motivate/inspire AND exercise any negative thoughts or feelings trapped inside of your mind and body. ⁣
