abstract
  • %22Papa's Got a Brand New Bag%22 is a song written and recorded by James Brown. Released as a two-part single in 1965, it was Brown's first song to reach the Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten, peaking at number eight, and was a number-one R&B hit, topping the charts for eight weeks. It won Brown his first Grammy Award, for Best Rhythm & Blues Recording.Consolidating the rhythmic innovations of earlier James Brown recordings such as %22I've Got Money%22 and %22Out of Sight%22, %22Papa's Got a Brand New Bag%22 is considered seminal in the emergence of funk music as a distinct style. As Brown sings the praises of an old man brave enough to get out on the dance floor of a nightclub (%22brand new bag%22 meaning new interest, taste, or way of doing something), his band provides a horn-heavy backdrop with a prominent rhythm and an electric guitar riff for a hook. Both singer and musicians place overwhelming emphasis on the first beat of each measure (%22on the One%22). The song is Brown's first recording to feature Jimmy Nolen on guitar.The taped recording of %22Papa's Got a Brand New Bag%22 was edited and sped up for its single release, increasing the tempo and raising the pitch by a half step. In 1991 the recording was released in unedited form at its original speed on the box set Star Time. The track includes lead-in studio chatter, with Brown throatily (and presciently) shouting %22This is a hit!%22 just before the drum and horn intro.
