too late, so as far as I could see you guys/gals have listed all of the gems ...again

still I want to mention on of his 80s recordings I rate very highly, even in the amazing JB catalouge:

Static from the Full Force produced "I'm Real" album, now that was a slammin jam, staying true to his roots but also bringing him up to date sound and closer to a younger audience... well, kinda.... sadly the whole album rather... flopped

dont be a dropout
Aint that a groove
Bewildered
Lickin stick
Its a man's man's world
Try me
Oh mary dont you weep
Night train
Give it up turn it loose
prisoner of love



the James brown stuff on King is vital to own.. James did a few singles on Federal which was a sub of King..
