Song: Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved, Loved ) Artist: James Brown Album: Dead On The Heavy Funk (1975-83) Tabbed by: Dave Miller (dave@basstabarchive.com) http://www.basstabarchive.com/ This song is pretty much the exact same riff as David Bowie's "Fame". "Fame" was actually written and recorded BEFORE this song, yet Brown accused Bowie of stealing his "groove". ...so he rewrote and recorded this version.
