The Upsetters were a band that played with American musician and poet Little Richard from 1953 to the early 1960s.^[1] They would continue to tour and record through the late 1960s as a backing band with Otis Redding and as a solo group as well. They have been credited by James Brown and others with first putting the 'funk' in the rock and roll beat.^[2]
