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

Ay caramba! eek

I confess to quite liking this. boxed The original version was a stormer, and it's hard to improve on something that was prefect to start off with. But this has a certain charm to it, and it's so different it doesn't tread on the original version's toes. In any case, I like it better than the funk remakes of his songs he did in the 70s, which always seem a bit stodgy to me.

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. smile I bought the Hell album myself in the early 1990's. I've always enjoyed some Latin and Spanish music anyway, so I like it.

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