1973 album from James Brown’s backing band, featuring the #1 R&B hit title track.
Doing It to Death was released by Brown’s own People Records, which was acquired by Polydor on July 1, 1971, when Brown signed with that label.

The cover typography uses Cooper Hilite. The stage decoration in the photo (“James is no. 1”) is based on a geometric sans similar to Moon, Wexford, Washington, and Syncopation. Neither of those is a match, though.
