from Oannes blog…
On May 3rd…
The Godfather of Soul was born!
Σαν σήμερα, 3 Μαΐου 1933 η φωνή του James Brown ακούστηκε για πρώτη φορά στον κόσμο. Ένα κόσμο που έμελλε, μ’ αυτή τη φωνή, να τον αλλάξει.
Ετοίμασα ένα μικρό αφιέρωμα στον καλλιτέχνη που σημαίνει τόσο πολλά για τόσους πολλούς ανθρώπους.
Τον έχω δει δυο φορές ζωντανά. Η πρώτη ειδικά, early ’90s σε ένα μαγαζί στην παραλιακή, ήταν η πιο τρελή συναυλιακή εμπειρία της ζωής μου. Δεν μπορώ να φανταστώ πώς θα ήταν να τον βλέπεις από κοντά στα ’60s και τα ’70s…

On this date, May 3, 1933, James Brown‘s voice was heard for the first time, in a world he was meant to transform.
I’ve prepared a little tribute to the artist who means so much to so many.
I’ve seen the man live twice. Especially the first, in the early ’90s, was the most insane live experience in my life. I just can’t imagine how it must have been watching him back in the ’60s or the ’70s…0:00 I’ll Go Crazy 2:09 Out Of Sight 4:32 Let Yourself Go 7:31 I Got The Feeling 10:08 Licking Stick 12:57 Superbad 15:49 Get Up Get Into It And Get Involved 19:21 Payback 22:54 Ain’t It Funky Now 26:02 There Was A Time

More about these reblogs
Lately I have been rebloging music videos from Oannes new blog. For my friends who didn’t know, or wonder why…. Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and mine] musical selections. • Although here I reblog mainly his musical selections, he writes exceptional articles on various topics [some may need translation], so do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!

Hardest working man in show business. I never got to see him. I regret that. But when he felt good, he felt GOOD. (And he knew that he would.)
Hardest working indeed! I doubt he ever slept! …well said! 😉
I understand that he had a policy for his band: one bad note during a performance equals a $50 fine. Amazing how few bad notes they played! Did you know that Jimi Hendrix played in his band for a while in his early days?
A ha ha… yes I know about the fine and he had a bloody good ear too! Nothing escaped it! Yes, I knew about Hendrix!
Can never go wrong with Mr. James Brown!
No, never! 😉

The Godfather of Soul.
Himself! 🙂
Payback is probably the album I like best. However, I don’t know all his albums.
Great album but then, I’m also not familiar with all his work. Good thing I have Oannes for musical food! 😉
