Wayne Cochran was the guy who was the white James Brown, not Roy Head. Roy Head was a great rockabilly singer. He even wrote One Last Kiss from Bye Bye Birdie that was covered by Bobby Vee etc.

@pat976 you can say what you want. i talked to ROY HEAD himself and HE told me where he got his moves and who his influence. maybe you just like to argue, but argue with HIM, not ME!

@novadj61 don't you think Joe Tex and James Brown got those moves from some crazy Blues guy they saw when they were kids ? Everybody takes from whoever came before and adds their own flavor ... if you watch the first 5 minutes of Great Balls of Fire, you realize, fiction or not, nobody wakes up one morning and makes their whole act up ... just sayin' too ;-) Look at old pics of T-Bone Walker, Jimi Hendrix got some crazy moves from him ...

[novadj61]

the moves he does are from joe tex, not james brown. maybe if you actually talked to HIM (roy head) like i did, you would not have to speculate as to where his moves come from and there would not be this debate.....

...just saying

@yowzephyr Who cares how James Brown felt. Roy Head was a true Rocker!

Wow!!! Roy Head, still cool after all these years!

I love this band. I wish I could have heard this horns LIVE.

Thanks for posting this. I am glad to see Roy is still rockin.

I never saw James Brown roll off the stage. Not saying you're wrong, but it it is so, I'd have to compare the clips. I find it hard to believe anyone, much less Tom Jones singing the same song, is anywhere near as good as Roy Head. A true rocker, and still performimg today.

@kmfmgk the moves he did were from JAMES BROWN !!!!

I don't think Roy Head stole anybodys moves. Nobody had the moves he had. Check him out singing this same song in 65. It was like Elvis's moves magnified.
