    Dear list: yeah ! when Heard PE "night of the living bassheads" i was like
    :"wow! thats some tour de force of sampling. Those weird horns,the guitar
    lines(, that squealing sax....Surely no one with any training could !"come
    up with that,Then i heard the J.B's song "The grunt". Yes,Pe added some
    flown in samples and maybe some drums and sound fx but the truly weirdstuff
    was from the original! Which proves that james brown was a nut!! He
    actually wrote those horn charts!!!
