Doing Their Own Thing MACEO AND ALL THE KINGS MEN Discover the album that is utterly fantastic and appeals to music fans across funk, jazz, and pop genres. Maceo and "All the Kings Men" famously broke away from James Brown to "Do Their Own Thing," creating something truly spectacular. Rumors suggest that James Brown himself suppressed the album, allegedly paying DJs not to play it, which might explain its understated impact on the music scene.

Led by Maceo with the precision of a James Brown ensemble, the tunes are impeccably crafted, offering a freshness that is less redundant than their previous works. This album is guaranteed to turn you and your friends onto something uniquely funky, cool, and irresistibly groovy.
