JAMES BROWN

We still very much do want to get up and do his thing. This self-styled ‘Napoleon of the stage’, premier song and dance man of the 20th century, ventures into the next with as much sweat and swagger as his 70

odd years and diabetes will allow. Which you

can bet will be just

plenty. Brown once

opined that ‘any problem in the world can be

solved by dancing’

which is as sublime a mission statement as

one can imagine. He hasn’t had a hit since the dreadful ‘Living in America’ went top ten in 1985 but who cares.

Sock it to ‘em, JB. (Rodger Evans)
