abstract
  • %22Mother Popcorn (You Got to Have a Mother for Me)%22 is a song recorded by James Brown and released as a two-part single in 1969. A #1 R&B and #11 Pop hit, it was the highest-charting of a series of recordings inspired by the popular dance the Popcorn which Brown made that year, including %22The Popcorn%22, %22Lowdown Popcorn%22, and %22Let a Man Come In and Do the Popcorn%22. (The %22mother%22 of the song's title was, in the words of biographer RJ Smith, %22[Brown's] honorific for a big butt%22.)%22Mother Popcorn%22 has a beat and structure similar to Brown's 1967 hit %22Cold Sweat%22, but a faster tempo and a greater amount of rhythmic activity (including a lot of agitated 16th note movement from the horn section and the three guitars) give it a more frenetic quality than the earlier song. Critic Robert Christgau singled out %22Mother Popcorn%22 as the turning point in Brown's funk music in which he %22began to concern himself more and more exclusively with rhythmic distinctions.%22 The song features a saxophone solo by Maceo Parker, which starts at the end of Part 1 in the single version of the song.Vicki Anderson recorded the answer song %22Answer to Mother Popcorn (I Got a Mother for You)%22, also in 1969.
