Brown, James - Doing It To Death Lyrics

Classic shit

James literally broke into the middle of the song to talk about how he doesnt eat chitlins

2020 do it to death.

Brother Maceo aint no stage joke either no slouches in that crew

Im 52 and this has been my jam scince i was 7 the horns blow my mind and makes me just show my natural black behind !!!!!!

2020 and I am STILL jammin out to this!

The originator of the funk...took from the 3 and put it on the 1 and everybody else followed

Best scene and song of "When We Were Kings"

Wish I lived in this generation of music ❤️

NIGGA THAT FLUTE

If dis ain't laid n da cut..I don't know what is....

Awesome..I had this album when I was seventeen

James Brown is just the most BRILLIANT ARTIST... .....THAT HIS MUSICIANS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE EXPECTS FROM THEM!. They PLAY LIKE HE SAY! Take it to the BRIDGE!!! DOWN DEEP! He WAVES THEM IN.....Just CATCHY... FUNKY...MAKE ME WANNA DANCE! HOW BOUT U!

Move sumtin !

Born in 65, and sooo thankful for a well-integrated youth. I came up as one funky white boy. Passing it on down the line. James is a true OG...

The best grove of all time.

MISS MY GRAND MA

RIP soul brother #1

The GENIUS of James Brown

Too damn FUNKY. Smdh

James Brown the other must and best god farther of ever

This is one of the best songs by the JB's and James Brown, classic horns, great rhythm ....1:51 of this song is the best TROMBONE solo ever, Fred aint no joke! Makes me want to pick up the trombone again and play it....Every music program in school should be showing this song to the children, on that note, where are the programs for music? I guess cell phones have ruined the brain? To the 1,300+ Haters who gave this song a "thumbs down", you can take that thumb and shove it up your 4SSES!

is it who? maceo, like you know, 'Maceo won't you blow'... OOOH! YEAH! MACEO! GO AHEAD, BROTHA! 5:20

You're listening to DJ Timmy T and WBLS 107*5 in Stereo in NYC 🎧

Love this song brings back great memories!

ffs me and ma wee pal jojo bounced about like a couple of fannies to this but its still awsome

🥰😎

real dancehall music, SENSATIONAL!

The one about James was that his band was always tight. James and Prince always had tight band's. Two of the GOATS of all time.

And.....everything is on the one. Thanks Mr James Brown for getting me interested in music through your songs. My high school band played all of these hits, and as always on the one.

This song is so funky I had to spray air freshener in my living room an the stereo I Bluetooth the song through is all funked up

When I was a kid, my uncle would come over drunk, and play this song about ten times. I know all the lyrics and ad libs!

That change at 4:11 OOOOWEEEE!!!

That ol' school funk 💞💞💞😎

Catfish Collins on the guitar. You know who's on the bass

I Love your old school mixes I'm a huge fan of James Brown and can listen to him go for hours

and with you guys I can do just that thanks and keep up the good work 1LUVLUV1 EPAPLR #1CHIEFROCKA $ CHIEFROCKA#1

In case of emergency, do resuscitate with this.

If you were to look up the definition of Funky James Brown photo would be next to that definition

Back then i had a lot of funky good times. Yeah

When James calls on FRED, it's funkier than 10 lbs of rotted CHITLINS, between the crack of a 500lb man's azz, standing in the noonday heat that's been waiting for a bus for two hours.......funky

Shit is lethal.

Somebody give me a pack of Kool's, a glass of Boone's Farm and a fried fish plate. Damn, I miss those days!

He got me wanting to get down into funky D!

All the musicians were great but those guitar licks are the s**t! They make the song!

its wonderful to hear such dancing music.

BLOW FRED !!!!!

My drum instructor introduce me to this today..what a groove...if this does not get you tapping your feet you simply have no musical soul.

Without any doubt? Naw man. "Without No Doubt, these are the JB's".

I've listened to this track maybe 400 times and I still get goosebumps when it goes to "D"

Funk Before Parliament 😎

Sound of San Fran over the top towards the end

Need to be deep down in it.The Funkest,styling,and profiling there will ever be.Or,untell they get here.

Funkiest track evar

Hey Frankie there’s no “doing it to death” by Justin Bieber!...

I finally get this as i like to think i am a musician lol yep that is debatable but when one man dedicates his whole life to a music called funk...its a lifetimes dedication to that one drum beat right on the one...man it amazes me always xxx the man dedicated his whole life to funk...sometimes if we could go back in time i'ld like to ask him man did you ever play classical music like bach or mozart at least once lol blessings xxx

Frankie Edgar sent me herr

Anyone remember when this came out in 1973? I was just a 12 year old kid who always loved James Brown and was too young to understand his ever changing band but when I heard this and saw the grown folks jamming, I knew JB had a winner on this one!

TIGHT AND RIGHT!!!!!!!😎

Fred! FRED!!! Fred!! (in come the horns)

This song is perfect in every way!! I’m only 19 but it makes me think of my childhood so much. Thank you Dad

in 1973 a record came out called"doing it to death"by the JB's,prior to that in 1972 they had a album called"food for thought" containing the hits"gimmie some more"and "pass the peas".Both of these albums i purchased in a famous brooklyn record store on Nostrand ave and Fulton street called"Birdells record",Now if you old heads know that record store,you know they had a ton of old school records and the price for a album was only $7.99,the 45's were around $1.25,,the store is no longer there but what memories,,,

Dem breaks is deep.

Grits and gravy,neckbones and collard greens

Blow them horns Fred u the greatest

Down to D

FUNKTASTIC 😎
