Lyn Collins 'Think About It' 1972 (HD)

[@GaryHynes-im5di]

Whoever produced this was a genius... play this in a club today and still burn it up.

[@kofikwandahor8302]

The Jbs produced this. James Brown's band.

[@cathleanjohnson675]

Just looked her up on Wikipedia, was sadden to read she had passed away back in 2005, gone but never to be forgotten, thanks for that female funky soul you left us with...

[@janath9118]

I did the same thing, searched Wikipedia for details of Lyn Collins the moment I found out about her on today's news article shown on the TV channel France 24, and I felt the same way as you when I read that she has passed away. Nice blues soul music.

Apparently she has been sampled over 3500 times, not just this song though and is thought to be the most sampled artist of all time

James Brown was definitely ahead of the game, since he wrote this song and produced it. Lyn released this as a single on his People's Records. Fantastic Song...

James brown and the JB’s plus kool and the gang inadvertently invented hip-hop, and I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart 🖤

[@MrOvadose101]

✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Peace to Rob Base and Eazy Rock for crafting their song of this gem. This song in its sound, patterns, and structure was so ahead of its time it is fucking scary.

[@cascam1]

Hey, fellas I'm talking to you, you and you too Do you guys know who I'm talking to? Those of you who go out and stay Out all night and half the next day And expect us to be home When you get there But let me tell you something The sisters are not going for that no more 'Cause we realize two things That you aren't doing anything for us We can better do by ourselves So from now on, we gonna use What we got to get what we want So, you'd better think, think Now's the time when we have everything That's the thing I never will forget Now baby, I got a lot to live And a whole lotta loving That a woman could give, yeah But before I give it up, I gotta think, think What the future holds for me Just go ahead and see I don't need no heartache I can't stand no misery Let me think, think It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight All right, yeah Don't say it's easy Just plain living Sometimes it's kinda tough If it's not in your vision Don't make no decision Hey, yeah, all right So, I'm laying my cards on the table When it comes to taking care of me I know I'm able You may not call it true But I won't do nothing that you won't do Said I won't do nothing that you won't do So think about the good things Come on and think about the right things You got to think about me too Come on and think, think about you Come on and think about the good things Come on and think about the right things Come on and think about me too
