Lyn Collins
Some music fans might say that if it weren’t for vocalist Lyn Collins, many of James Brown’s funk classics wouldn’t hold weight. As a soloist, Collins made quite the splash in 1972 with her debut album, Think About It. With Brown serving as her producer, the title track of her first record is a timeless treasure that has informed tracks from Rob Base & DJ EZ-Rock, Joey BadA$$, Curren$y Spitta, Kid Cudi, and Destiny’s Child.
