More than The Beatles? Your ears are never fresh to sounds you've lived with for decades but a revisit can still prompt a spark, at least, where once your head was set ablaze by, in the case of JB, the rhythm and voice. Whilst it's no longer fresh, at least the passing of time proves its greatness in the context of both what was around then and what came afterwards. No-one was more consistently funky for so many years than JB in his prime.I kinda think James Brown, maybe more than anyone else, is hard to hear with fresh ears.
