"I Cried" is a song written by James Brown and Bobby Byrd. It was originally recorded in 1963 by Tammy Montgomery, better known as Tammi Terrell, for Brown's Try Me Records.[1] It was her first charting single, reaching #99 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Brown reused the song's chord progression for his 1966 hit "It's a Man's Man's Man's World". In 1971 he recorded "I Cried" himself, in a version arranged by Dave Matthews that charted #15 R&B and #50 Pop.[3] It was his final single for King Records.
