Soul, soul jazz y rithym and blues, son las fuentes afroamericanas de las que han bebido todas las grandes bandas y cantantes del funk “setentero” más puro, aunque sin duda el pionero del contrarritmo, la percusión y el compás sincopado fue Brown, James Brown.
Su célebre Think fue grabado por primera vez en 1957, pero como el genio de Brown no tenía límites fue capaz de darle varios giros, cambiando el tema de arriba a abajo en cada interpretación. Esta versión perteneciente al álbum editado en 2009 que recopila los singles del 72 y el 73, es en mi opinión la más "funk" de las que conozco, pero sobre gustos ya se sabe…
