A faixa foi gravada em 1969 e lançada como single em 1970.
O solo de bateria, improvisado por Clyde Stubblefield, tornou‑se um dos trechos mais amostrados da história da música.
O clímax do ritmo de bateria é considerado um dos mais famosos “breaks” de drum que influenciaram inúmeros gêneros, desde hip‑hop até rock.
A batida icônica de “Funky Drummer” tem sido extraída e rebatizada em mais de 1.000 músicas de artistas que vão do rap aos pop.
A gravação original ficou registrada no disco de James Brown “Get on the Good Foot”, sendo um marco no catálogo do funk americano.
