"Out of Sight" is a rhythm and blues song recorded by James Brown in 1964. A twelve-bar blues written by Brown under the pseudonym "Ted Wright", the stuttering, staccato dance rhythms and blasting horn section riffs of its instrumental arrangement were an important evolutionary step in the development of funk music. In his 1986 autobiography Brown wrote that
"Out of Sight" was the third single Brown recorded for Smash Records in the midst of a contract dispute with his main label, King. A significant pop hit, it reached #24 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100,〔White, Cliff (1991). "Discography". In ''Star Time'' (pp. 54–59) (booklet ). New York: PolyGram Records.〕 and #5 on the ''Cashbox'' R&B chart.〔(Top Rhythm & Blues Records (Top R&B Hits) )〕 (''Billboard'' had temporarily suspended its R&B listings at the time.) It was also the last song he would record for over a year, as the court's ruling in his dispute with King barred him from making vocal recordings for Smash. "Out of Sight" was one of Brown's first recordings to feature the playing of saxophonist Maceo Parker. Its B-side, "Maybe the Last Time", was his last studio recording with The Famous Flames. Besides its single release, "Out of Sight" appeared on a Smash album of the same name, which was quickly withdrawn from sale. It was re-released on King in 1968 with one track missing under the title ''James Brown Sings Out of Sight''. ==Personnel== * James Brown - lead vocal ''with the James Brown Band:'' * McKinley "Mack" Johnson - trumpet * Ron Tooley - trumpet * Robert Knight - trumpet * Joe Dupars - trumpet * Wilmer Milton - trombone * Nat Jones - alto saxophone * Eldee Williams - tenor saxophone * St. Clair Pinckney - tenor saxophone * Al "Brisco" Clark - tenor saxophone * Maceo Parker - baritone saxophone * Lucas "Fats" Gonder or Bobby Byrd - organ * Les Buie - guitar * Bernard Odum - bass * Melvin Parker - drums〔Leeds, Alan, and Harry Weinger (1991).
