Heyyy💯👍Accurate, This a Great one🎉❗
Growing up in Augusta, Georgia and being a musical soul myself, I can easily say James Brown was one of my mentors. His house was across the street from my middle school, Langford Jr. High. As part of his community service, he came and spoke to us about the dangers of drinking and drugs. During the Q&A I raised my hand. I asked if he had any advice for aspiring singers. He said: " You just find that thing that's only yours, baby, and don't let anyone take it out of you. Never give up." I will never forget it. I love that your writing wakes old memories like this! 💕
Not heaps familiar with all his works, but I know he is a legend!! Excellent and infectious critique of the man! 😁👏
Yayyyyy, I got lots of melanin too! Loved this review!
Real music. The stuff that comes out now especially women rappers aggravate me
Nice breakdown of the master's masterpiece!
Brilliant review, good luck in the challenge 😁
This is great. You said so much with just a few words. Awesome stuff.
I had the honor of seeing him in concert and it was enlightening. I grew up seeing him in the later years of his life, but even to see him at the near end of journey, was awe-inspiring.
