Description:
Another dynamic solo cut from Bobby Byrd on Brownstone Records, “Never Get Enough” pairs deep funk grooves with Byrd’s raw vocal energy and The J.B.’s trademark horn section. The track embodies that stripped-down, syncopated rhythmic power that made the James Brown family of musicians so pivotal to funk’s foundation.
“My Concerto,” the B-side, offers a more melodic, soul-driven performance, revealing Byrd’s versatility beyond the dancefloor. Together, the two tracks highlight his role as both frontman and key architect of the funk sound that would later inspire generations of hip-hop producers.
While not as frequently sampled as “I Know You Got Soul,” the record’s sound — sharp drums, clipped guitar, and deep pocket bass — clearly laid the groundwork for hip-hop’s breakbeat culture and remains a prime example of early-’70s funk perfection.
