(By some new guy named James Brown, not normally intended for slow dances.)

Vinyl 33’s were a huge step forward from shellac 78’s.

Slow dancing, swaying to the music

Slow dancing, just me and my girl

Slow dancing, swaying to the music

No one else in the whole wide world

Just you, girl

“In the hot tub! Yow! Rub-a-dub with me, y’all!”

The guy on the record looks nothing like James Brown.

Aww, the middle panel <3

I joined the Army in 1980 and got shipped off to Weisbaden, Germany. Spent two years there, living in the Infantry barracks. That was the first time I got a chance to listen to, and appreciate, music like Brown’s. Hearing it always takes me back in time to those days!

I’ll take lossless digital over analog. I want to know how it sounded in the studio.

It’s having to hunt stuff like this down, that makes reading the comics take all day.

Adorable to see Nicole and Marcus snuggling in the second panel!

If you want to see James Brown at his greatest, see “The TAMI Show”. The Rolling Stones had to follow him. You have never before and will never again see (a very young) Mick Jagger so intimidated.

That’s because when he is holding her he doesn’t even hear the music. Any song will do.

vinyl sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Brown??An unlikely example for Marcus,considering what an unholy mess Brown’s finances were in when he passed away.

“Try Me,” “Please Please Please” and “Prisoner of Love” are a few James Brown songs suitable for slow dancing.
