1965a

Whatever James Brown did, he always did it cool. The man wore funky like an overcoat, and tied his shoes with soul. James Brown didn't need a belt. He was so hep his pants stayed up without assistance. So of course his music is groovy.


Some consider his 1962 live album the birth of the break beat. I had to choose a song from the 60's but he got REALLY funky in the 70's. Check him out.

  1. I love James Brown! This song is great...how can you not dance when you hear his music?

    (Now the background dancers in yellow on your "Get Up Offa That Thing" link should've won that Harvest Moon contest....I'm just sayin...)

    I also love his Get Up (I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine) song. Check out his smooth moves. Can I hit it and quit?

    By the way, I bet I know what tomorrow's song will be...
