Description:

Released on Thomas Records in 1966, “I Spy (For The FBI)” is a funky spy-themed stomper that captured the playful energy of mid-’60s soul while hinting at the rhythmic grit of funk to come. Anchored by a driving bassline, stabbing brass, and a swaggering beat, Jamo Thomas delivers the lyrics like a secret agent on a mission — sly, confident, and infectious.

Produced in Chicago and arranged with cinematic flair, the song quickly became a regional hit and later a cult favorite in Northern Soul and mod scenes. Its blend of humor, groove, and horn-heavy drive made it a DJ essential across dancefloors from the U.S. to the U.K.

A quintessential “party R&B” single — smart, tight, and endlessly danceable — it still sounds like a secret mission set to a funk soundtrack.
