WAYNE/JAMES TOGETHER

Wayne Cochran appears on the James Brown show!

[@andycooper75]

Only James Brown would perform when introducing someone😁

[@Koldeman]

I want to believe Wayne and James are doing this right now up in the heavens with Otis and the rest in the most amazing jam imaginable.

[@818bulldog4]

[@lordburlap1925]

Wayne's love for James is clear!

[@davanmani556]

Both grew up in Macon and were childhood friends.

Tap dancing without tap shoes gets you James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Billy Preston, and Wayne Cochran.

[@hotrodtrucker88]

this is great seeing them together

[@206wareagle5]

Two absolute masters of art and entertainment.... smashing through color and race barriers!

[@doodlebug4339]

With the late, great Jaco Pastorius as Wayne's bass player.

For those of you never saw him perform in a small venue you missed a real party. Once a year for a few years he would play The Diamond Club in Dayton, Ohio. Went to a few shows and he and The CC Riders were everything you would expect from a funk band. We learned a lesson at the first on e we went to: Always get a drink in a big glass because well into the show he would go raid the bar and get a few bottles of booze. On his way back to the stage he would pour the liquor into as many peoples' glasses as he could, and that could be a large amount. Then, inevitably a couple of the empties would end up being thrown through the tile ceiling. He really could excite a crowd. Great music, too. One of the highlights was them doing Going Back to Miam with the audience doing the call-and-response.

[@spank2424]

This generation just don’t get it 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️!

[@hybridamerica]

He's a mix between Joe Cocker and Edgar Winter.

[@Skykilr1]

He always told people the idea to bleach his hair came from watching the Edgar and Johnny Winter’s band in the mid 60’s New Orleans before they became famous.

[@mitchgawlik1175]

Cutting off Wayne Cochran mid-song is a criminal act.

[@redpillforreal3053]

Wayne was the real deal. They didn’t want young yt men dancing so they didn’t make him popular

Isn't this one of those matter-antimatter things?

[@Stingray-ly2om]

Is that JACO on Bass?

[@taco2947]

He did play bass for him at one point!

[@rjbubba203]
