James Brown has a very fitting tribute last night at the Grammys. His cape hanged proudly from the microphone at the center of the stage, where he'll always be. On other notes, the version of "It's a man's man's world" by X-tina Aguilera was spectacular!! I thought it was hopeless, but this woman, who has always had the pipes, seems to be developing her sense of taste, and her tribute sounded sincere, powerful and very very good! A pleasant surprise!
Final note: it's nice to see that Ike Turner gets some credit back (Best Blues Album of the year) and that the wonderful Irma Thomas gets the attention she deserves, although their respective Grammy-winning efforts were inferior to their previous releases. Anyway, both well-deserved and most welcome!
