My dad was such a huge James Brown fan, I had “Please Please Please” played at his funeral as the pallbearers carried him out. Growing up just north of Raleigh, “Night Train” was one of our favorites because of the shout out to “RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA!”

In fact, dad saw JB and the Famous Flames in Durham, NC in 1964. That was a show. I still have the show poster he pulled off the wall that night. It’s now hanging in my hallway.

Great write up!
