James Brown : Live At The Apollo 1963


This another great album from Chris that I am sorry I've missed for all these years. James Brown was doing funk and soul when people didn't know what those two words meant in a musical context. It's a very short album, and one that I think I'll be listening to again pretty soon. I have always thought of James Brown as a bit of a caricature based on his appearance in the Rocky film, but the man could sing and he delivered some punch, especially as a young man. This album is ranked #24 on the Rolling Stones best of all time list. 

It's smooookin!
