The A-side of King Records' November 1962 single "Good Good Twistin'" features the Famous Flames with James Brown on lead, a high-energy novelty dance number that capitalized on the nationwide twist craze. This recording highlights the group's tight vocal harmonies and Brown's dynamic vocal delivery, showcasing their versatility beyond their more typical R&B fare.
- The single was released in 1962, preceding the group's first full-length album, 'Please, Please, Please, Please', by a few months.
- The B-side, "Don't Let Nobody", is a more traditional soul ballad featuring Brown in a solo spotlight.
- The single did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 or the R&B charts, which was unusual for the group at the time.
James Brown & The Famous Flames were a vocal group from Cincinnati, Ohio, who helped pioneer funk and soul music in the 1960s. By late 1962, they were riding the success of their recent R&B hits, preparing to release their first full-length album.
