JAMES BROWN
We still very much do want to get up and do his thing. This self-styled ‘Napoleon of the stage’, premier song and dance man of the 20th century, ventures into the next with as much sweat and swagger as his 70
odd years and diabetes will allow. Which you
can bet will be just
plenty. Brown once
opined that ‘any problem in the world can be
solved by dancing’
which is as sublime a mission statement as
one can imagine. He hasn’t had a hit since the dreadful ‘Living in America’ went top ten in 1985 but who cares.
Sock it to ‘em, JB. (Rodger Evans)
