WAYNE/JAMES TOGETHER

[@westentrance]

Saw Wayne Cochran and the CC Riders in 1969. What an entertainer, he had the crowd on their feet. His dynamite band was maybe the tightest group I’d ever heard. Great 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]

yes they are Brother!!!!!

[@reno145]

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

[@lordburlap1925]

Wayne's love for James is clear!

[@davanmani556]

Both grew up in Macon and were childhood friends.

[@doodlebug4339]

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

[@sheilabrewster3620]

Wayne Cochran was a GREAT ENTERTAINER . A very good person too!

[@livingexample5322]

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.

Perfect harmonies.

[@TheeWorldsGreatest]

James and Wayne should have done a trilogy of buddy cop movies.

[@theelvisguru9490]

I’m sure I haven’t taken any drugs today but now I’ve watched this I’m not sure at all😂

[@junebugtheboz500]

WoW !

[@Its_Star_Brite]

Top ten anime crossovers

[@smoothoperator7023]

First thing that came to mind was Eddie Murphy talking about how no one knew wtf James was saying!🤣

[@Stingray-ly2om]

Is that JACO on Bass?

[@taco2947]

He did play bass for him at one point!

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

[@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.

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

[@Лариса-ы2р5ч]

[@zerazara]

If only MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice could have had a similar relationship

[@rjbubba203]

[@mildredpierce4506]
