JACKSON had talent but get real we all know he stole his act from the Originator , took out the Ham Hocks replaced it w/ Peanut Butter & Jelly , added few train sets from Toys R US for the fans , Badabing you got alleged "king of pop"...
Besides when you got a chick coming over , are you going to play Super Bad or Jackson's theme to BEN , bout A FN Rat . ...
Had to include this in my funky horn collection. This song is super important because iit represents a change of direction for James. He gets Bootsie Collins to play bass and goes from the more melodic, soulful playing of Maceo who was and is classic to the more energetic and spiritually charged playing of Robert who was inspired by the then recently deceased sax icon, John Coltrane. What can I say, "Blow me some Trane"
As an 11 year old, I jammed all summer to Sex Machine, and I was so sad when it started to play out. Then I heard the new jam. While I regard Cold Sweat as JB's greatest record, Super Bad remains my all time favorite James Brown Song.
This is SO GREAT,,"dundoid" Thanks for posting this. I worked with JB many times when I was in radio,,I miss him so much,,and Bo Diddley,,Felt like they'd always be there. TheMojoMan*com
When I worked at WOHO in the late 60's and early 70's I started intro-ing all of JB's records by simply saying into the MIC 'JAMES AND THE FLAMES" nothing but that. First thing I know every DJ in America was copying me. TheMojoMan*com
What if I had the presumption, as an amateur musician, to say this drummer of James Brown is my present idol. This guy is Superbad! Listen to him! I'm already studying you my friend.
one of the sound tracks of my life.sounds like a good life dont it.USE TO SEE HIM EVERYTIME HE CAME TO PHILLY BACK IN THE DAY................OOOOHHH BABY, DA FUNK ON THE ORIGINAL ONE,,,,,, OK ON TWO ,THREE DUN DUN DUN DUNDUN.............WHEW NEVER BE ANOTHER...BE PEACE BROTHER JAMES ...AND THANK YOU.
james brown would fine a band member $25 for each mistake during a performance. i got to see him live at the shrine auditorium in la. in 1967. bob barboza had a extra ticket, asked it i wanted to go. at first i said no. but, i relented (thank god). i was funk-a-fied. got hooked!
Do you not believe God himself is funky...........this man ain't gettin' know rest.....hah hah "God? NOw show me where you gettin those move's?,....in sandal's mind?!, Jame's well tah start " Get up offa that thing" & i'll show you.......Omg? learn's his best move's....cos' God made me thjis funky & i'm glad he blessed me this way
@slappywhitemaxipad Mildly disappointing being that I'm a Democrat! Oh well, regardless of any and all political parties, nobody and their grandpappy could hold a candle to him! Damn I miss him! Rest in Peace James Brown!!!
@fatshoolaces WORD... :P same thing here... rather have "get on up" and "i feel good" though.. hehe. but either way.. all james brown's shit is bangin'! =)
Offensive, yet intriguing. Marketing the Godfather's music to Madison Ave. is like selling gold to a fool. Doesn't quite know what to do with it, but knows its valuable.
THIS IS THE SHIT!!! this is the foundation of hip hop. bootsie collins was a young buck playin with james, this right here is real music! no four tracks, samplers, auto-tune, or any other processors. thats a live band playin... real music!!! right on-right on!
@Mr001H001 I was in advertising and there's a set fee for that.. You deal with ASCAP or BMI music. Very simple to do. On the radio you can use 'whatever" cause it's covered by your ASCAP or BMI license which radio stations pay for to be able to play records. EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE IN AMERICA.
Every instrument in the perfect sounding place... focus on each separate instrument as you listen over and over. It's really unbelievable. I really wouldn't believe it...
@BeyondInfinit...That's right "Brotha" all of JB's stuff is the real, hard edge funky "Superbad" shhhhhhh ! Hey! :)
PS - There are times when I listen to JB and see his pictures and videos here that literally tears start to well up in my eyes. I went to the Apollo for the funeral service
at about 4AM in the morning. I was number 28 on the line. Boy, do I miss me some James Brown, GOD rest his soul...Peace...:)
When I was ON THE AIR in Chattanooga at WGOW,,this would set the phone lines ON FIRE. I used two copies of the 45 and put Part One and Part Two together on one radio station cart to get the full length like this. When I hear this and There Was A Time I think of CHATTANOOGA. I lived in HIXON when I was there.
Eddie Murphy was absolutely spot on.
