    Alot of the same tracks are on there, so I can't diss Sex Machine. I'm just saying the screams are not my favorite parts of his music.

    It's cool. BTW, are you the same person who has said that some of Aretha's songs were too "shouty?"

    when it comes to dancing I pack the double disc on HRB Music in my backpack.

    For a few years there, that HRB album (which was sold thru the mail via TV commercials) plus the two Soul Classics albums were the closest things to a James Brown "comprehensive anthology." At least until the big JB reissue frenzy of the eighties.

    I believe it. I saw someone else do it at another DJ gig.

    The groove is right, so you could throw that on in the middle of a salsa party and not lose any ground.

    But if you're familiar with the original, it still sounds outlandish.

    I like in "ain't it funky now" when he yells at Kush after his solo, "Kush, put that little horn away! You aughta be ashamed of yourself!"

    Yeah, that one was on King but it was a sure sign of things to come. "LET ME CON-CEN-TRATE!"
