Best part is, none of them wouldve made the music they did if James hadn't done what he did. I honestly think James had more of an impact on music during his time and since than anyone has or will ever have ever.

And on July 27th, 1969 it reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's R&B Singles... It was directly preceded on the Top 100 by "The Popcorn" {#30 Top 100 & #11 R&B} and then succeeded by "Lowdown Popcorn" {#41 Top 100 and #16 R&B}... And later in 1969 on Nov. 2nd his “Let a Man Come In and Do the Popcorn (Part 1)” would peak at #21 on the Top 100 {#2 on the R&B chart} 'The Godfather of Soul' passed away on Christmas Day of 2006 at the age of 73...
