I read somewhere that Patti Smith was into early James Brown music and I like particularly his Chonnie on Chon Chon, the Bells, and Bewildered but I threw the albums they were on away Someone just told me that Patti Smith was one of the early punk rockers. I don't know much about that or what it has to do with early James Brown music but I did like the *** appeal she exuded when I saw publicity photos of her a long while back I'm not driving at anything in particular but it's strange how some things are connected, isn't it? The scope of James Brown music might be the immense and early James Brown probably really isn't that great.
