brings back memories of putting coins in the jukebox where I worked graveyard shift as a waitress in a truck stop ... 1969 :)

Another genius segue from the Master: ZZ Top - Just Got Paid to this! Bringing that horn section in on the last note of a hard guitar riff: not even remotely stylistically similar, yet the transition is smooth as silk.   {#Meditate}

There's a reason this song is a classic. It still holds up after all this time - I especially like the saxophone.

I love this, but I was just thinking the other day that I'd like to hear some of his more underrated songs.  This guy's body of work is tremendous and yet I only ever hear like 3 of his songs.

So much soul they even named a bridge after him:

Hell yeah there is more!  His single-CD best of "20 All-Time Greatest Hits" is a great start.  But if you react like me, that will only stoke the fire and you'll pony up for the 4 CD career-spanning box set "Star Time."
Happy hunting!

I had the privelege of seeing James perform when he was in his prime.  I immediately knew how he got his nickname.  Amazing and unforgettable!

I also lost my sister to cancer.  At least she got to see my band perform at the local bandshell before she left us.  I keep reading amazing things that some doctors are doing to find a cure.  One is badly needed.  Thanks for your story.

Hail the funkmaster. "I Got You" is a great funky one, but lots of his other, less popular stuff, is definitely worth a listen.

A great all-time classic. What gripes me these days, though, is that this gets played at an increasing number of football (soccer, to you lot across the Pond) grounds as a 'sting' after a goal's been scored, which is highly irritating. Not yer man Brown's fault, of course.

I'm surprised this isn't rated higher. How someone would rate this lower than a 9 is surprising to me.

This song kinda sucks when you don't "feel good."

"James Brown, if he'd gone to college:

I knew that I shall"
 
Better to have chosen a higher-quality college, if those verb tenses are any indication. . . .

As for the song: pfft.  Whatever.  Blah.

The media lately having been going on and on about the late Michael Jackson non stop. When it comes to excitement, James Brown was the real deal with real music. Enough said!
