Jimmy Castor, conocido como "Everything Man" por el crisol de estilos que utilizaba para crear sus excéntricas melodías de fiesta, fue una figura de culto de la escena soul y funk de los años setenta, cuya música fue sampleada por numerosas estrellas del hip hop, como Kanye West, Ice Cube y Beastie Boys. Castor, que empezó con su grupo de doo-wop Jimmy and the Juniors, era aún un adolescente cuando su canción I Promise To Remember se convirtió en un éxito para su amigo Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers en 1956. ¡Se empapó de los sonidos puertorriqueños que escuchaba en la Nueva York multicultural y creó su propio estilo soul-jazz, latin-afro en su álbum debut en solitario Hey Leroy! (1968). Pero es la continuación, más funky, It's Just Begun (1972), la que se considera su mejor obra, con el sencillo Troglodyte (Cave Man), que alcanzó el número 6 en las listas estadounidenses. La música que da título al álbum se convirtió más tarde en uno de los temas más sampleados de la historia, utilizado por NWA, Grandmaster Flash, Pharrell, De La Soul, Mos Def y muchos más, pero Castor no consiguió el mismo éxito comercial que sus contemporáneos del funkadelic George Clinton y Sly Stone. "Su brillante música alegre me llegó al alma", dijo una vez Nile Rodgers de Castor, pero, a pesar de su enorme influencia y la aclamación generalizada de la industria, tuvo dificultades en las décadas de 1980 y 1990, sobreviviendo de los derechos de autor derivados de su trabajo sampleado hasta su muerte en 2012 por insuficiencia cardíaca.
