One of the best funk songs to come from the 70s is "The Payback" by James Brown. Released in 1973 on his album of the same name, the topic focuses on the Godfather of Soul getting revenge on a man who stole his money and his woman how he plans to do so. Over the years, it became one of the most sample songs for hip hop and one of James Brown's most sampled song, being used in over 100 songs. It could heard in many film and television soundtracks and has been remixed and mashed up with other songs.
