This guy was one of the people who influenced my music.
Mid sixties I played in an English invasion band, but soul
music was getting more popular. I joined a soul band; complete with sax, trumpet, guitar(me) bass, drums and
a Farfiesa Combo Organ played thru a Hammond cabinet. Wow,
this was heaven for a 16 year old. James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Four Tops, Otis Redding, with some Rascals, Mar-Keys, etc. Even now I pop in a James Brown CD, drag out the old Strat, and can still get somewhat funky. James B was one of a kind.
