About this episode
FUNKY DRUMMER cont.
In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we continue to unpack the story behind one of the most influential recordings in modern music: James Brown’s Funky Drummer. Recorded in 1969 and released in 1970, the track features Clyde Stubblefield’s legendary 20‑second improvised drum break — a groove that went on to be sampled in more than 2,000 songs across hip‑hop, pop, rock, dance, and electronic music.
