      Apartheid Is Not A Game
    • James Brown ist das größte Genie der schwarzen Musik. Dabei steht sein Name vor allem für eins: FUNK! Ohne James Brown hätte es Leute wie Maceo Parker, Bootsy Collins, Michael Jackson, Booker T. & The M. G.'s, The Meters, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Prince und noch viele, viele mehr nicht gegeben. Zusätzlich war Brown auch noch ein einzigartiger Perfomer, wie es nach ihm keinen mehr gegeben hat: Wer weiß schon, dass die Stones ihre erste USA-Tour nicht mit ihm im Vorprogramm spielen wollten, weil sie Angst davor hatten, dass nach Brown nichts mehr geht?! Wer zweifelt: Einfach mal in seine Aufnahmen aus den frühen 70ern reinhören - wer da nicht funkt, hat's nicht verdient! Von Bosworth jetzt die Übersetzung der Originalbiografie von Geoff Brown. Mit sehr vielen Details, Stimmen seiner Mitmusiker und Kollegen sowie vielen Fotos.
