I think he's pretty boring. The audience wasn't exactly on the edge of their seats either.

Tower Of Power has a nice version which is part of a James Brown Tribute. It's short but it grooves like a mutha! There aren't many really good covers. I mean, how can anyone cover JB??

The song grooves. JB was not a great singer but he was a great entertainer and good singer!
