Had to mention the perfect use of the Nashville Teens' "Tobacco Road" at the end of the Season 4 opener of Mad Men. (The lyrics are practically Don Draper's bio).

All of a sudden, it occurs to me that Band on the Run sounds a lot like Springsteen!  But wait, which came first?

Soul Train (which has been moved to 10:00 much to my chagrin) reruns an all-James Brown show with Maceo, Fred Wesley and the fabulous Lyn Collins, a vision in gold lame doing "Rock Me Again and Again and Again and Again and Again and Again"

Quick poll: Most Gratuitous James Brown Family Song Title:

(1) Lyn Collins, ""Rock Me Again and Again and Again and Again and Again and Again"
(2) Fred Wesley & the JB's, "You Can Have Watergate Just Gimme Some Bucks and I'll Be Straight"
(3) Fred Wesley & the JB's, "If You Don't Get It the First Time, Back It Up and Try It Again, Party"
(4) The Last Word, "Keep On Bumpin' Before You Give Out of Gas"
(5) The JB's, "(It's Not the Express) It's the JB's Monaurail"
(6) Maceo, "Future Shock (Let's Go Down to the Discotheque and Dance Your Pants Off)"

Damn -- this show is awesome! The clips are wonderful. Johnnie Taylor doing "Who's Makin' Love?" in the greenest green suit I have ever seen.  Ree-Ree looks a bit worse-for-wear, esp contrasted to her '60s self doing "Say a Little Prayer" in a rainbow mini-dress.

But not a real green suit, 'cuz that's cruel.

the basic concept of the show was clichéd, but still riveting.  The clips are awesome documents.  I enjoyed watching Otis Redding, and seeing a young Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper riffing behind him, for example.
