One more from the big oevre of James Brown. In an interview with Red Bull Music Academy Fred Wesley tells that It was supposed to be a soundtrack for a movie "Hell up in Haarlem" but the producer didn't find it funky enough! Fred continues: "So I gave the phone to [the producer] and James Brown really flipped. [The producer] was turning blue and turning red and different colors and gave the phone back to me. James told me, “Bring it home!” So I took [the tapes] back to Augusta. I was living in California, I flew all the way back [East] and James put that music out as an album. And it was the biggest album James ever had, The Payback."
