James Brown revived "Prisoner of Love" in 1963. It was his first recording to enter the pop Top 20, reaching #18. The studio recording was arranged by Sammy Lowe. He performed the song live with his vocal group, The Famous Flames on the concert film The T.A.M.I. Show, and on a mid-1960s telecast of The Ed Sullivan Show. The Flames, however, were not used on the studio recording, having been replaced, in this instance, by a female chorus.
