Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, he has described himself as a “jazz snob,” who grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington and the likes. As a teenager, he played trombone in a band for Ike and Tina Turner. From 1968 to 1975, Wesley was music director, arranger, trombonist, and a primary composer for James Brown’s Band, The J.B.’s. And he is credited with helping the band to shift its sound from soul to funk, a style that would soon become dominant in R&B music. In 1976, Wesley and fellow horn player Maceo Parker left Brown’s band to join another artist on the cutting edge of funk, George Clinton. They worked with Clinton to create such influential Parliament-Funkadelic albums as The Mothership Connection and The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein. \n--\nThis song was written by Fred Wesley and Mr. James Brown.
