"They look like they are having the best time! Good for them! I saw James Brown in concert when I was 15……to say it was awesome is not saying enough! I was one of about 40 people in the audience who was white…..it was a fantastic experience and loved him! We were all helping him sing and dance! Was truly a pleasure and wonderful experience to see him! I’m now almost 71 and still can remember that nite!"

"I was raised in the military and was living on an Army base in '67 - '68. Soul music was the thing back then. Though I was a white boy in the 5th grade, the first album I ever  bought with my own money was James Brown and his Famous Flames, Papa's got a Brand New Bag. I'm thankful to God I live in a world where this wonderful music exists. I love so many of his songs, and though I'm 67 years old, a week doesn't go by that I don't listen to his music. Love it that folks are dancing to it."
