What albums to pick up? I only have like compilations or whatever, which is awesome, but what's a pretty consistent album by the man?

Norma J · 10.13.2007, 12:22 AM

I love his music. It's got so much energy and charisma.

Dead-Air · 10.13.2007, 12:52 AM

I know you're talking studio albums, but Live at the Apollo is a classic to really hear him working it as only he could.

in the jungle groove and the payback do it for me, strictly speeaking in the jungle groove is a comp but of a particular 9six month I think) period with his most shit hot band.

I've always found his work to be mehsauce outside of the 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! comp. and Live at the Apollo.

Norma J · 10.14.2007, 03:25 AM

'mehsauce'. Is this some kind of 'hip' lingo the kids are now using?

Rob Instigator · 10.14.2007, 11:59 AM

I think Mr. Chance would argue heartily with you about that.

Have you seen the man with the golden crotch?

Everyneurotic · 10.14.2007, 01:47 PM

your best bet is scoring a well rounded compilation.

yeah, the hardest working man in show business, the godfather of soul was pretty awesome.

Norma J · 10.14.2007, 04:35 PM

I bought another compilation yesterday with a bunch of songs that I don't have on my other comp. It was only $10 so that's a plus.

Good song. Good album.

I saw James Broiwn a couple of times at the V festival in Chelmsford
He always had his "bag man" with him as he insisted he was paid half his fee in cash
He used to insist on the size and colour of the limo that picked him up and the type of Winnebago he wanted backstage
And the reason he was always late going on stage?
He always had a blonde who travelled with him give him a bj before he went on

Norma J · 10.14.2007, 04:46 PM

Sounds like the life to me.
