What a blessing to find this powder keg and source of boundless energy as I slide into my elder years. I recently discovered "Let it Go or Turn it A Loose" and it made my lip curl. I caught myself snarling and throwing my shoulders around in the car, like my feet were doing some kind of double-time shimmy the way he would do it.

    R.I.P Mr. Brown. I grew up, (6yrs old), imitating James Brown. He was a special Man in many ways. Much love Brother. But don't forget the Band! Them brothers Jammed, and they gave James the Vibes so he could feel it and move his feet with passion the way he did. You can't play a James Brown Hit without tapping your feet or having to get on up, offa that thang and get on the good foot and get funky with it!
