Soul On Ice!{Episode #26:A Tribute to the Godfather:PartOne} 5/1/12
Dynamite DJ Dave Soul
Greetings Brothas & Sistas...
I can remember being intrigued with James Brown's music at a very young age. I really became interested with it during 'the golden era of Hip-Hop' because just about EVERYBODY was sampling his music back then. I would go over to my cousin's house (or anyone's house for that matter) & comb thru their vinyl collection to find any James Brown record that I could get my hands on. And when you listen to this special edition of 'Soul On Ice', you'll see for yourself why this man's catalog of music has become the most sampled in music history (..have you ever heard "Funky Drummer"?...I rest my case). Well, in my opinion, Mr. Brown's music posesses that raw & uncut energy that is surely missing in a lot of today's music. That's why it's still being sought-after and discovered as I sit here & type these words for y'all to read. And I can also guarantee that somebody, somewhere, is hearing songs like "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved", "I Know You Got Soul", "The Grunt" or the aforementioned "Funky Drummer" in amazement for the first time in their life. Saying to themselves, 'DAAAMMN! So, THAT'S where that sample came from!' Yep, I know I did when I first heard them. But, I can sit here type verbage allllll day about the 'Godfather of Soul'. Just dig on this episode for a while and stay tuned for "side 2"...DIG?! (P.S.: During this episode, I stated that JB's born-day was on May 4th. It's actually May 3rd instead. My bad...)
