WE CALLED HIM MR. BROWN
January 3, 2007
by Alan Leeds as told to Steve Perry
James Brown was about a lot of things to a lot of different people. But to
those of us who passed through his inner circle, he was about family. It
wasn't always a warm, fuzzy, or even functional family. But it was family.
He was that crabby patriarch who'd seldom give you what you wanted but
usually give you what you needed. He'd mock your performance and curse your
efforts but if you ever needed to "come home," the door was always open.
I met him as a pimply-faced teenage rookie disc jockey, interviewing him for
my radio show in Richmond, Virginia. I was so awestruck at being in his
presence that I secretly recorded our pre-interview conversation as he asked
me about my radio station and career aspirations, all the while bragging
about his then-new single, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." I explained I only
had an hour on the air per day and was just an apprentice, but he waved me
off and said, "You sure are hip, man, and you got the PRIME time, baby! I
GOT to know you. You're gonna be ruling radio in Richmond before long."

You're not in the minority on this issue. It's just that there hasn't been
much deep 70's passion in this group, which has (for the last few years,
anyway) been henpecked by a zealously 50's/90's-leaning horde.;)

What is it about this period (especially the years 1974 and 1976) that
seems to be so neglected? Sure, there were a lot of crap coming out,
but there was also a lot of good music, like Roxy Music's Siren,
Bowie's Station to Station, the Tubes' debut album, Genesis' Trick of
the Tail, 10cc's How Dare You, and others.

It's the version with the guitar solo. The B-side of the single was an
instrumental called "FM Reprise" which featured the saxophone part that
was used for the remix of FM on the Gold album and later also on the
Citizen SD box.
This is one of the very few annoyances of the Citizen box imo.

Another classic Jazz album added today, always a part of the quest to
expand the timeless repertoire:
DAVIS, MILES ~ AT CARNEGIE HALL: THE COMPLETE CONCERT
COLUMBIA 65027 (Barcode: 5099706502722) ~ USA ~ Jazz
Recorded: 1961 Released: 1998
It's good to see that record companies sometimes are able to get...

The version from the soundtrack clocks in at about 4:50 so that one should
be the hit version.
