Argh, that one! Bootsy didn't bother to ask more original James Brown artists to participate, instead he booked a bunch of young talent not associated with JB .. but still, glad he was doing it. But that tribute is the reason why we did not get Clyde and Jab'o on our show, they were rehearsing when we taped the interviews ...
