Thanks for always dropping by to provide some encouraging words...you've been a huge inspiration. <BR/><BR/>Trent---Don't ever feel badly about dropping an opinion. I chuckled when I read your comment just now because you would not believe the struggle I went through with song selection. The version of "There Was A Time" that you speak about remains one of my absolute favorite JB tracks EVER. My only hesitation in posting it was that I did a few guest posts at Miblog Weighs A Ton this summer, and I featured that track then. I decided to post the other "There Was A Time" because I thought it would be something a little different to put out there. That said, I would agree that it doesn't quite measure up to the version you prefer. Thanks for the compliments and no harm done with the little mix-up.<BR/><BR/>Ritmo---does that mean you're Obi? If you're starting something new let me know so I can send some linkage your way.<BR/><BR/>Matt---Gratitude for the props, and thanks for all the great stuff you post @ los amigos. Still one of my favorite spots, and I'm grateful for all the wonderful music you've introduced me to as well. Peace brother...<BR/><BR/>Rubberband---Thanks for dropping a comment, but you ain't gotta worry your head about anything. Trent is good people, and he expressed his opinion with much respect. You don't do this sort of thing expecting to only receive praise---it's only natural that people are going to have their own perspective on things. Nice to know ya got my back, though ;)Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029862318403717683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13714247.post-1167262709991313322006-12-27T18:38:00.000-05:002006-12-27T18:38:00.000-05:00Just a question.

I'm quite sure his <I>Gettin' Down To It</I> LP is one of most overlooked albums - not because it was bad.<BR/><BR/>So forgive me on my comments earlier, I shouldn't have question your MP3 selection. (LOL) <BR/><BR/>I still think its a schmaltzy and boring version of the song. I prefer the original track. But the song (and the albim) shows that James Brown's versatility goes way beyond just simply soul music. <BR/><BR/>Again, a great tribute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13714247.post-1167238874921418342006-12-27T12:01:00.000-05:002006-12-27T12:01:00.000-05:00Please don't hate me for this -- I'm only offering...Please don't hate me for this -- I'm only offering my 2 cents.<BR/><BR/>First, I'm a fan of your blog.<BR/>Second, this is a very nice tribute to James Brown.<BR/><BR/>Now, here's my beef (LOL).<BR/><BR/>"There Was a Time" is a great James Brown song. However, you posted a MP3 of a jazzy, schmaltzy version of it. I don't why, but below is the James Brown version:<BR/> http://somevelvetblog.blogspot.com/2006/12/james-brown-rip.html<BR/><BR/>On the song, you can feel the rhythmic power of the "groove" -- which James is the creator and founder of. <BR/><BR/>Again, a great tribute. But when I heard that MP3, I almost went into shock.<BR/><BR/>You are great writer and music historian.<BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13714247.post-1167154301295003692006-12-26T12:31:00.000-05:002006-12-26T12:31:00.000-05:00Beautiful tribute.
