For whatever reason, this incredible side by the GODFATHER seems to have slipped through the cracks of becoming a "legendary" side in JB's massive catalog.
Strangely enough, this record made the POP charts at #77, but somehow MISSED the r&b charts. How strange is that? This song bridges the gap nicely between raw r&b and the groundbreaking nascent funk that James would lay out less than two years after this record was cut.
An absolutely incendiary performance from JB.
from 1963...
JAMES BROWN - SIGNED, SEALED, AND DELIVERED
Wat en goed nummer van een fantastische zanger.
ReplyDeleteThe reason it didn't make the Billboard R&B charts is that there were no R&B charts from late 1963 thru early 1965. The general theory was that the R&B charts were becoming too similar to the Pop charts so why make a separate chart. When Soul music started coming in big, in 1965, the R&B charts were started up again.
