Give It Up or Turnit a Loose topped the U.S. Billboard Hot Black Singles chart and reached number 15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1969. This dual success demonstrated James Brown's ability to cross over from the R&B market to the broader pop audience.
The James Brown Orchestra featured Waymon Reed and Richard Kush Griffith on trumpet, Fred Wesley on trombone, Charles Sherrell on bass, and Nate Jones on drums. Jimmy Nolen and Alphonso Country Kellum played guitars using the choppy rhythmic style known as the James Brown guitar.
The 1970 live version on the double album Sex Machine introduced a substantial organ riff and a florid bassline to transform the track into a sprawling journey. Clyde Stubblefield performed drums in tandem with congas to create a complex polyrhythmic conversation in the final minutes.
Lyn Collins recorded a version of Give It Up or Turnit a Loose in 1974 that added a new layer of vocal intensity. This recording became a staple in breakbeat culture and was produced by James Brown himself.
A remix of the live recording by Tim Rogers appeared on the 1986 compilation album In the Jungle Groove. This remixed version has been extensively sampled to prove the enduring power of the live arrangement.
