James Brown ~ Please Please Please {Hell album version 1974} You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I confess to quite liking this. "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |

One of my relatives had this album on 8-track when I was little so I'm really familiar with this. Actually, I heard this version long before I heard the original.

Both James and B.B. King recorded some of their songs over and over and so did Lightnin' Hopkins.
