Everyone owns at least 30 records by the man, so what are YOUR fave 3 tracks?Shhh (For a little while)James Browns BoogalooSpinning Wheel I've just noticed they are all instr's. Thats not much props to the man himself, but anyway......... I suppose Shhh counts as a vocal track with its 843 worlds best 'Ughhh's'...

i bought a pretty shitty james brown produced 45 last night... I'm thinking there might have been more than one guy with that name in 60s. Perhaps "James H Brown" and titles "Tear in my beer" b/w "18 wheels to the road" shoulda been some sorta indication

now I'll play:

Blind Man Can See < funkiest song ever. i always play air drums to it when in my car
The Drunk < i always hum this bassline in my troubled little brain

and

Funky Drummer < Heard this?
 
it's a man's world (long live version with the namedropping)
the payback
there was a time

Thats gooooood. I saw that 7 in a crate upstairs in my local trading post and they wanted about 30 quid for it, it was even pressed slightly off centre, so I thought feck it and switched the price tags with a moudly kim wilde 45.





You'd think the dude at the till would have picked up on it, but nope!
 
Man,





This is a HAAAAAAAAARD question, indeed. I guess I'll go with these:





-"World (Part 1 and 2)" (from the LP "It's a New Day So Let a Man Come in"; it's so dramatic, yet funky).


-"Cold Sweat" (from the LP "Cold Sweat"; I love the energy of this jernt).


-"Licking Stick" (from the LP "Sex Machine"; this such a tight groove, I play it all the time).





Peace,

not all time for ever and ever, but right now, i'll say
1. popcorn - love the bassline
2. king heroin - love the melancholy
3. the label on my 45 for this next song is just shredded, so i don't even know the song's name..but it does say "sometimes! i think i love you a little too much" it's a scorcher - what's it called?
 
-"Cold Sweat" (from the LP "Cold Sweat"; I love the energy of this jernt).
I reckon Cold Sweat has to contain the most expressive 'Ughhh' of James Browns entire career, between the 3rd and 4th beat of the first instrumental break.

Knocks me on my keister every daign time. Always hits you out of nowhere......... UGHHH!!!!
