OT: How James Brown wrote all those great songs

[adouglas]

Probably apocryphal, but a good story nonetheless. Plausible, anyway.

That's really neat actually,assuming its true. I'd believe it that it happened at least one time, but maybe not every time for every song did he get some kids to stand there. Who knows.

Very cool article - and premise...

Similarly, my Band gauges the success of our song selections based upon our kids level of interest. I love hearing my son (8) wandering around the house singing some late 60s pop-tune while listening to it on his iPod. That's when I know we have a winner of a tune.

Something to be said for this method...
