James Brown's women singers - jazzboCR - 25-11-2014
In the '60's-'70's, JB didn't run a solo show, he ran a revue with a bunch of different elements. One of these is allowing women singers 15-20 minutes to strut their stuff. These have been gathered in a 2-CD set called James Brown's Original Funky Divas: http://www.allmusic.com/album/james-browns-original-funky-divas-mw0000598358 << Not all these songs or versions are from the discs--showcases for these women's talents
