James Brown was the greatest. You had to see him in his early days at THE WORLD FAMOUS APOLLO THEATRE

That's so true Talia After all of the hate speech James get at times. some say that James Brown couldn't sing but look up through KZbin when he was much much younger The man could really sing. Look up "try me", "KISS IN 77", "Bewilder" "It's a Man's Man's world", "It''s was you" " I love you yes I do" and many, many more, Jesus could really sing way back in the day.Although Micheal is "BETTER" ....

Hey but now we have 10 complete identical models with decent voices that write music that is so broad and unnuanced that half the planet can say "yeah it's good enough to not turn it off". I find it hilarious how Taylor swifts music gets hyped up by millions of young girls because she addresses the most broad universal struggles, and gets hyper marketed for that. I'm not a girl, but I remember my mom showing me "girl music" with Aretha Franklin, Gloria Gaynor, Tina Turner, Dido and Sarah McLachlan. The older you get, the more you actually understand these female struggles and see them in Partners. While Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande etc. Go like "uhhh break up, I'm so sad but now I'm powerful" to the most basic beat and every young girl goes like "that's so me omg". It's sad that especially young people get nothing of essence anymore. Even Eminem got marketed out of his close-to-live style, into some appeal-to-the-kids BS.
