'It's on the one' is a well-known expression in funk music, referring to the emphasis on the first beat of the measure. Coined by James Brown to keep his band in line during performances and recordings, the phrase became a cornerstone of funk. As the godfather of the genre, Brown's legacy inspired Ghetto Funk Collective to choose this phrase as the title for a show that drips and thumps with funk.
