Very nice set, way to short but very nice.

Thanks brotha. That's all the popcorn tunes I had, bar the many James Brown popcorn tunes. When I started out I really thought I had more. Must have misplaced a few :P

Hahaha, no sweat bro. Just pick another subject and let them mixes come.

The Soul Preacher

It's Popcorn chillin'! Got that yellow "Steve Soul" 45, too. Do you know "Buttered Popcorn" by J.C. Davis? He was Brown's saxophonist on the 1963 studio recording of "Night Train". Check it out at your leisure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq7WhmGQnU8
The entire J.C. Davis LP was re-issued in the 90's. Just want to send my recommendation and thanks!

That is a killer record, Soul Preacher. Hadn't heard that one before. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be on the lookout for a copy. Cheers!

The Soul Preacher

It's A New Day! is the name of the J.C. Davis LP. The entire album is great and "Buttered Popcorn" is i.m.o. the best tune on it. Mo' Popcorn you might enjoy:
"Butter (For Yo Popcorn)" by Brother Jack McDuff (Down Home Style album)
"The Popcorn" by James Brown Band (James Brown Dances And Directs With the James Brown Band, The Popcorn) Ha, what a title for an album!
"Lowdown Popcorn" by the James Brown Band. This track is overdubbed with audience reaction on his "Sex Machine" double LP and the better unedited cut is on two CD compilations. One is called "Soul Pride", the other "James Brown, The Singles Vol.6: 1969-1970".
And finally Brown recorded an tune called "Popcorn 80s" but that wouldn't have fit into your set. A great tune though. It's on Brown's last Polydor album "Nonstop!" from 1981. So fare the Brownology :-) And thanks again for all the Popcorn I didn't know before! Tasty!

Thanks for the tips! I'm sure there must be hundreds of popcorn funk tunes out there. That said, I did try and stay away from too many James Brown tunes in this one. Although it was quite hard. Hence why Mashed Potato Popcorn is here in a different version ;)
