Some JB's for MLK
Ok, so I'll spare you the "I Have A Dream" samples on MLK day...
... but the shuffle did land on a song from the era, how apropos! Fred Wesley & The J.B.'s were, of course, James Brown's backing band during the funkiest years of his career, so I shouldn't need to say any more. Because if ya don't know anything about James Brown, you're obviously in a coma and have been for a very long time, so you're probably not reading this blog, what with you being all comatose and stuff. For everyone else out there, though, here's a cut from Vol. 1 (of 3) of the James Brown's Funky People series, put out on Jame's own People Records, which is where his backing players got to step off and do their own thing....
Some of the most essential funk cuts ever on these comps. And now for some essential words...
Peace.
