On a different note, I contributed some pieces to the Art for Japan auctions going on right now on eBay. A bunch of talented people contributed work to help benefit relief aid in Japan.
A whole new batch of work just went up, including my two pieces. Everything starts at the dirt cheap price of 99¢! So, everyone should check out all the great art, spread the word, and maybe bid on a couple things...
Todays song is 'Mama Feelgood' by Lyn Collins. I figured it would be appropriate (inappropriate?) for Mother's Day.
Lyn Collins grew up in Abilene, Texas and eventually married her manager. Her manager also happened to serve as the local promoter for when the James Brown Revue came in to town. Her husband managed to slip James a demo tape and she was made a reserve to possibly replace Marva Whitney when she left the revue in 1971. Vicki Anderson ended up filling that spot initially, but, within the year Anderson left the revue and cleared the way for Lyn Collins to join. At this point Lyn Collins wrote and recorded a few tracks with James Brown's People Records. Her most successful track was her also her first, the 1972 single 'Think (About It.)' A year later she contributed the track 'Mama Feelgood' to James Brown's 1973 soundtrack for the blaxploitation film Black Caesar. She would tour with the revue for a couple more years before leaving.
Here is her Black Caesar contribution 'Mama Feelgood':
And as today's bonus, here is her first hit 'Think (About It)'. 90's pop nerds will recognize a couple parts of this song:
You guys ever wonder what it would be like if I wrote and drew a monster comic in about 30 minutes after being up for 16 hours despite only getting 3 hours of sleep the night before? Yeah, me too. Well, this is the answer:
I hope everyone enjoyed that answer. I am heading straight to bed now...
