description:
I would go to these parties in my youth, and being one of the 'heads', as pretend Hippies were known at the time, I would spend my time sitting around listening to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I grew out of that though, roughly around the time I got a sex life that didn't just include me. From that time, whenever I was at a party or club and, say, James Brown started to play, instinct would take over. We couldn't dance well, we didn't look that good, but we loved dancing and we loved being seen. This is music that evokes that era and makes me want to put on my dancing shoes...

Within seconds I was arse over tit on the floor, but the Godfather of soul was on the turntable, and for a few minutes, all was right with the world. SHOW LESS
