"Get on the Good Foot" is a funk song performed by James Brown. It was released in 1972 as a two-part single that charted #1 R&B and #18 Pop.[1][2] It also appeared on an album of the same name released that year. Partly due to the unwillingness of Brown's record labels to certify sales of his previous hits, "Get on the Good Foot" was his first gold record.[3] Billboard ranked it as the No. 99 song for 1972.[4]
Performances of "Get on the Good Foot" appear on the albums Hot on the One, Live in New York, Live at Chastain Park and Live at the Apollo 1995[5]
