James Brown produced Lyn Collins' debut album in 1972 on his own People Records imprint. Collins had a voice that could out-shout Brown himself — raw, percussive, fully committed to the pocket.

Collins herself remained largely uncredited despite being encoded in thousands of records she never received royalties for.
