Out of Sight (song)

"Out of Sight" is a funk song recorded by James Brown in 1964 featured on the album of the same name.

A twelve-bar blues written by Brown under the pseudonym "Ted Wright",[citation needed] 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.

"Out of Sight" was one of Brown's first recordings to feature the playing of saxophonist Maceo Parker.

It was re-released on King in 1968 with one track missing under the title James Brown Sings Out of Sight.

"[5] Performances of "Out of Sight" appear on the 1967 album Live at the Garden and in the 1964 concert film T.A.M.I.
