Gettin' Down to It

1969 studio album by James Brown

Gettin' Down to It is the 24th studio album by American musician James Brown. The album was released in May 1969, by King Records.[3][1] A pet project of Brown's, the album consists of standards sung in the jazz ballad style of Frank Sinatra, whom Brown greatly admired.[1] In addition, two of Brown's own compositions, "Cold Sweat" and an instrumental version of "There Was a Time", are included, reinterpreted in the same style.
