...and i owe him for that. DAMN! This is good stuff. I bought a greatest hits album when I saw it, and this is just awesome, awesome music. I'm gonna need a lot more of this.
Just feel the world should know.

Just feel the world should know. | A couple of great compilations to keep moving forward with The Godfather Of Soul are the CD of JB Vol.'s I and II. Check out the links and read the reviews. It'll help to point you in the right direction. Then you can look for Popcorn, Live At The Apollo, etc. IMHO, Funk as we know it today would not exist without James Brown.  )=( http://www.amazon.com/CD-JB-James-Br...99292&sr=1-121 http://www.amazon.com/CD-JB-II-James...3599581&sr=1-1

The fact that he was the funkiest man alive never hurt, either. |
