Three Hearts In a Tangle - James Brown and His Famous Flames

Three Hearts In a Tangle - James Brown and His Famous Flames
2:44
Tour the U.S.A., 1962
Written by Ray Pennington and Sonny Thompson, 1958

Apparently the first version of this song was country, but Brown turns it into a funk with a '60s go-go beat, percussion giving faint island vibes, and crooning background vocals.  It's not exactly a masterpiece or Brown's best work, but he's screaming it out like it might make or break him (and it did hit the R&B charts, so good for him!).
