I doubt that!

Wow, that's so exciting. Switching to fantasy mode..

Prince performed on "Shake everything you got" and also added a guitar solo.

who does "Shake Everything You Got"? James Brown? or is that a Maceo song? thanks

From the superb Maceo Parker album - Life on Planet Groove

thanks Gav....gotta get that one.....they really surprised me how good they were

Maceo's band are VERY tight at the moment.

seriously....but you should have seen the way they were studying Prince when he was playing his guitar

actually, that song was recorded with funkadelic back in the early '70's. the earlier version was called "southwick" & was written by former james brown/horny horns member richard "kush" griffith
