[MissJackieM]

After looking at this, some of these so called "performers" need to take lessons in "entertainment" 101.

often copied, but never,ever equaled -------He was the very first pro live act I ever saw and it was like a religious conversion.....R.I.P. James. You were the man in soul and funk....nothing else like it in the world........

The art of playing rythm guitars....wow...!! a lost art now...

[shishyupal]

@motreby Yep, those guitar riffs are so tight and mean

[ensconse]

Super rendition. I remember hearing it on the radio in 1968. On record, the REVOLUTION OF THE MIND version is the shocker - "adults only"!
