Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved)

Released as a single in December 1975, it reached #31 on the R&B chart.

[1][2] It uses the main riff from the David Bowie song "Fame", released earlier the same year.

[3] Guitarist Carlos Alomar, who created the borrowed riff and was a co-writer on "Fame", was briefly in Brown's band in the late 1960s.

Alomar said, "[Bowie] was extremely flattered that James Brown would take one of his songs.

"[4] The song also appeared as the lead track on Brown's 1976 album Hot.
