    They have more talent under their fingernails than most of today's so-called artists have combined overall.

    James and Sammy are Two guys who really worked hard for this what they reached in life. Much respect for them...

      True, although James treated his band and Bobby Byrd very badly on the way up. I love his music but I wish he hadn't done that. Bobby rescued him from prison - if it wasn't for his efforts James might never have been anything but a bum and yet he greedily took most of the money made from records they wrote together.

      That's when James was past his prime besides, they both danced differently, they both sang differently, pretty much everything they did was different, so there is really no true way to compare them. They were both different but exceptional performers regardless, especially in their prime.

    "Man !!!".... Positive vibes, Performance givers, Humour transmitters, Love, Enjoyment, Sincerity. Kinship, Brotherly kindness, Sharing talents, Heartfelt faith and support in giving us what we do not give each other, any appreciation for the message behind these performances that we cannot re-produce in equal measure. Yet, we bring out new music due to lack of musical talented ideas and make enemies of our own people, who try to make an honest living out of what they have been given, when all we need to do is to "share a smile and appreciate one another", because music seems to bring us "Together".

None the less two giants who’s inner being and talent, was immeasurable compared to their physical size.

    These so called entertainers today, have no real talent, are selfish, don't know how to entertain and getting the millions they don't deserve. Same with sports people, the can throw up a ball in a hoop but don't know how to entertain with all the styles skills. Boxers just hit each other, that's why people no longer watch. But must basically stopped in the early 80's.
