When I was 14 James was my hero. We had never heard anything so funky....ever. To see some really early James and the Flames, search for the TAMI Show. Lot of early performers, like pre-68. We played a lot of his stuff. Not a white face in the bunch, but he transcended...
Habe ohn noch bei seinen Konzert in Österreich gesehen!Der Mann war mit über 60.jahren ein Hammer!Vom Schlagzeugerpodium ihn Spagat am Buehnenrand gelandet!Schade der Tod!Andy!
I think it’s the best because it’s so funny. I like how the band plays like they are in a rush and he’s trying his best, breaking that infamous sweat to keep up 🎷😅
I was fortunate enough to meet ames in Augusta, Georgia. It was an honor to meet him. I got to shake hands with the Godfather of Soul. It would be like meeting and shaking hands with Elvis.
What's a day without some funk? Just another day.The Godfather of Soul....Period. RIP I can't see and listen to Maceo Parker. It's not could be best version...
