Lyn Collins – Think (About It)

By far the most sampled female artist of all time, Lyn Collins was discovered by James Brown after he heard a demo recording of her powerful and commanding voice. Given the nickname “The Female Preacher” by Brown himself, Collins possessed a unique ability to infuse her vocal performances with a sense of passion and conviction, often delivering her lyrics with a rich, assertive and authoritative tone. The title track of her debut album “Think (About It)” is her most renowned song and a classic feminist anthem. It has been sampled more than 3,300 times… Produced by James Brown, the entire album is pure soul and features some stand out covers including Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” and Jerry Butler’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” – Ally
