Nah, Nautikos, it wasn't you or me or anybody else listening. It was the
man himself. But it sounded good. And you wouldn't get that kind of indecipherable good music again until R.E.M. released their first album "Murmur".

Saul,
Great post! We'll miss him! I liked his music, but had a hard time making out the lyrics. I always thought it was just me, and now I find out that others had the same problem...

I'd forgotten that one, Pat B. What I find amazing is that, during a time
when most lyrics were nearly crystal clear, he also became famous for his unintelligibility. That was long before metal and synthetic voices...

Lots of artists reflected Brown's talent -
thinking of Michael J. Fox's performance in
Back to the Future. Another light has gone out. :(
